New Milestone: Thank you Taxi!

Post by pedrocosta » Tue May 03, 2016 9:30 am

Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since I've been on the forum, but wanted to share this milestone.

Since my first Television placement about 3 years ago (from a Taxi Forward), I just surpassed the 300 placements mark on over 100 different productions :)
Here's a listing of most of them: http://www.pedrocosta.com/credits/

Wouldn't have happened if it weren't for the invaluable education from "Taxi University" :) And wouldn't have happened without the support of all my friends in the Taxi community.
And also the amazing Taxi member co-writers that I have worked with over the years.
Thank you Michael, thank you Taxi, thank you Taxi family! :D

For those of you who may just be getting started on this journey: I want you to know that building a career in this industry IS possible. There will be many people around you that may try to discourage you. You might even do it to yourself. But if this is something you love, you owe it to yourself to give it your best shot. And you've come to the right place to do it! As with any career it will require: hard work, dedication, persistence, and willingness to grow. But if I can do it so can you! Write, Submit, Forget, Repeat!

With much gratitude,
Pedro Costa

Hi Pedro,

I will never forget meeting you at your first Road Rally. Your determination and enthusiasm were obvious.

It's not surprising to me that you're doing so well... I think it is your destiny, and I'm very proud of you and proud that you've been able to use all the aspects of TAXI to get your education and build a successful career. I ca only imagine where you'll be at the 5 year mark. Continued success, and thanks for giving us credit in your post.

Vote for Pedro! I hope everybody saw Napoleon Dynamite ;-)

Warmly,
Michael
