The most expensive show in the world. Wow…
Who could imagine that a little American boy from Disney would be in charge of bringing the Athletes of the world, back into the stadium where it all began. I am still so honored to have had the responsibility.
To be in the country which created the very reason you define yourself in your work, to watch the pride of this people re-awaken as the world once again travels to their door, now thatβs pretty amazing for a days work.
To work with Dimitris Papaioannou the Greek Director was an honor I will not soon forget. I have never seen strength of vision and a clarity to believe and not change an original dream… to fight for a way to make it happen. I had my jaw hitting the floor from my first creative meeting to the night of Opening Ceremonies.
Some people might say that Greece is an old hot ancient city that is falling apart, I saw extreme beauty, style, pride and the “hope of today” seen with the eyes of the past.
