“As future filmmakers, creatives, photographers, architects, and designers, you are responsible for creating the culture of the next era. I urge you to take an active part in the change that we need. Use your skills for the common good. Remember what creativity is really all about: A creative act is revolutionary; a creative act bends reality and redefines it; a creative act is transformative. Authentic creativity is a potent force that challenges the ordinary and alters power. Creativity brings forth deep change; so use it in your work to transform the world, and don’t settle for less. For as much as you need a future, the future needs you more.”
