FLYING SCOOTER PRODUCTIONS

We always say we get to work with the best—and that includes the next generation of filmmakers and creatives! Through our nonprofit, The Amelia Project we had the privilege of welcoming three talented juniors from Keystone Oaks High School to job-shadow our crew.

“Hey Brother!” Is what we imagine these two saying with a big bear hug. The world lost a giant - the sweetest, kindest and most uplifting man. Thank you, Craig Wolfley for being a pillar of light & love. You showed all of us what grace looks like every day. We loved being your Scooter team. ??

When Courtney Gumpf & I thought about starting Flying Scooter Productions - I was talking to our friend & mentor, Bob Butter and he said - “you can have my conference room for however long you need it.” It was a great space surrounded by people we loved. So we did it. Today, eight years later - we are again surrounded by people we love, doing work we love - but this year, without him. This journey isn’t easy but it's worth it when you are surrounded by people - providing truth - direction - wisdom. And we’ve been blessed with that - from our families - our clients and our friends. This journey isn’t easy but it’s worth it. And as Kent Chevalier posted recently - “do more things that don’t have your name on it.” (@markbatterson quote) We will keep telling stories and creating work that does just that. ?? 8 FLYING SCOOTER PRODUCTIONS Jenni Schlieper Courtney Gumpf
