This is the part where I am supposed to tell you how my products will make your life easier, but I can’t. I intend to ask a great deal of you, myself, and anyone working on this project with us.
I can’t promise to solve any of your problems. In fact, if I hit my mark, I hope to leave you feeling disenchanted with the world we live in. I expect to create problems.
I think that art and conversation right now must lead to the inevitable conclusion that something is terribly fucking wrong. I think the antidote is to stand fully in the truth, share the real stories that connect us, and stop pretending that it is a kindness to accept anything less.
The path to stronger people and communities is through friction. Taking the harder path, valuing experiences, and valuing ourselves enough to accept no less. Iron sharpens iron.
That is what Scream Phoenix is for. I want to share art and stories from the most raw, honest, broken, and powerful pieces of my soul. I want to share conversations with the people who stoke my passion and help me reach for more. I want to take all of this and use it to improve the world.
From the ashes of each iteration will rise something stronger and harder, better suited to change the world. We submit to this process, and reach out to grasp every ounce of our potential. We scream Phoenix!
