Time is Currency

I’m going to keep creating till they f$%king come into this room and pull the send button from my hand. I don’t care if it’s a oh so lonely path…. That I live in shitty housing making shit money so I can have as much time to myself to create as possible. That it attracts time bombs, thieves, and loons that never seem to have art or my best interest in mind when they continue their childish behaviors or use me…. Just keep your head down and fight the creative fight…

“Being A Manic Creative Type” By Rob Potylo

My name is Rob Potylo and I’m a manic creative type in Boston, Massachusetts trying to deal with a head and emotions that go 180 MPHs every minute of every day. Even though I make a lot of “comedy” videos I wanted to show the other emotions going through my system. Manic up and down mood swings by the hour and other shit. I made this short film trying to convey some of the darker thoughts and feelings I go through to show others a glimpse of the dark world that has cost me friends and relationships with others sometimes. Whether this is mental illness or a bi-product of the world I have to face as a creative type it gets really tough and dark sometimes. Thank you for taking the time to watch.
