Whenever I have a new idea, I am careful about who I talk it out with. Most people will follow paths laid before them. It is only a few who have the courage to go their own way.

Happy New Year! Here's to the courage to go your own way.

This liminal week at the end of one year and nearing the start of another is for strategy, reflection, and quiet updates.

Setting the foundation for what’s to come..

Podcast conversations, coaching offerings, and art-forward merch that carries the work into analog life.

Stay close. The new year opens everything.🙌

Attention Filmmakers!

Align is now offering a la carte Creative Production Support. 🤩

Focused filmmaker to filmmaker support in flexible hourly sessions. If you're in that space between script or idea and how do I make this thing, this one's for you!

We can break down your script, make a budget, build your production plan, strategize casting, fine tune marketing plans, and more.

On demand production consulting. For when you need a producer's brain but not the full partnership.

Map out your film, solve problems, or just carve a path to your next step.

In starting a podcast asking others to open up about their creative journeys, I felt it only right to lead us off by opening up about mine. Tales from a life in Hollywood, art, filmmaking and independence.

'It’s true, in my 30’s I had a successful talent agency representing actors and was splitting time on both coasts, Montreal-LA. I was making a good living, enjoyed supporting artists, and felt great joy in seeing them reach their dreams. But inside I felt empty.'

Got tired of listening to systems and gatekeepers telling us how to move and thought I'd go right to the source. Let's change this conversation.

Building Align podcast, conversations with artists shaping the future of creativity. By Andi State

Thanks to all who encouraged me to keep putting my voice out there. Introducing the Align Art Salon, an online place for conversation, reflection, and inspiration.

I am starting with a recap of my life and experiences in independence, creativity, film, and art. Want to hear about my childhood in Romania, being bullied at school, finding my power by pool sharking in high school, and how getting hired at the Cinema du Paris when I was 21 changed my life trajectory?

The snow came early to Montreal this year and a week of hibernation allowed me the space and focus to start building Align Salon. A conversation, art club, evolving experimental archive.

Evolution is the solution.
Stay tuned. X
