Meet Reid Waterer
Reid spills the beans on how he stumbled into the wacky world of filmmaking and quickly discovered he was more suited for behind-the-scenes shenanigans. After graduating from UCS Film School, he landed a gig with none other than Peter Bogdanovich, the maestro behind cinematic classics like The Last Picture Show and What’s Up, Doc?—a job his snooty college peers wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot boom mic!
Reid dishes on how slumming it with “lesser” gigs shaped his career trajectory, tackling random haters with the grace of a seasoned ninja, and drawing inspiration from his loyal fanbase. He’s not afraid to spill the tea on seizing unexpected opportunities, navigating the treacherous waters of entrepreneurship, and keeping his sanity intact amidst the inevitable chaos of creative pursuits.
And drumroll, please! Reid unveils his personal recipe for success and failure, quipping, “Success is just failure’s flamboyant cousin who refused to take ‘no’ for an answer.”
What is Bed Buddies?
Bed Buddies—a tale as old as time (or at least as old as last Saturday night) where three besties stumble into a steamy situation of accidental intimacy. Cue the awkward pillow talk and the morning-after scramble to untangle the sheets and their feelings. It’s a riotous romp that sheds light on the hilarious hurdles gays and lesbians sometimes face with their tribe, while also giving the finger to those tired old relationship norms. So grab your popcorn and get ready for a ride that’s anything but straight-laced
How to reach outrageous goals like Reid
Here’s the deal: You’re not just here to watch others score goals while you’re stuck on the sidelines. It’s time to kick butt and live your best life—because guess what? You deserve those victories, too.
But let’s be real, sometimes we’re so busy playing the people-pleasing game that we forget our own playbook. Next thing you know, we’re knee-deep in credit card debt, trying to keep up with the Joneses and their designer dog sweaters. Talk about a budgeting fail!
But fear not, fellow dreamers, because we’ve been there, done that, and got the oversized novelty credit card to prove it. It’s time to ditch the unnecessary expenses, silence the haters, and start chasing those dreams as they owe you money—because they do.
