I still think Shane McFalls is a good guy.
The job entailed filming and whipping together daily edits of skiers and boarders.
It was the perfect job for me.
I applied and a week later got a call asking if I could drive from Potsdam for an interview.
I was elated to say the least.
Just living in a ski town after two and half years of being a weekend warrior was enough.
With the sun shining, I pulled into the parking lot determined to impress in the interview.
An hour later, I exited the interview feeling 90% confident the job was mine.
Meatheads are meatheads.” I was sure this wicked good opportunity was in the bag.
A few weeks passed and I heard nothing.
My phone sat silent aside from friends calling to rejoice the end of college.
The end of college.
It was over and I didn’t have a job.
The East Coast shows no pity.
I couldn’t believe it.
I thought it was in the bag.
I was so confident.
The new guy?” A brief silence hit the line.
“His name is Shane McFalls.
We were both chasing the same idea of endless winter and a paycheck cut from the Ski Industry.
Here’s the demo reel to my friend Shane’s work.
Check out his new site here.
And for the record, he’s still a Meathead.
