A year full of smoke and (almost) no fire alarms!

When I edit my films and record the voice-over, I sit in a kind of rubber room to make sure the sound is nice and rich. Of course, I often smoke cigars - after all, creative work without smoke is like a cigar evening without an ashtray.

The „rubber room“. Evil contemporaries say: „Perfect, Vasilij, just right for you...“ 🤔

So the smoke rises and stupidly... yes, you guessed it: there's a smoke alarm hanging from the ceiling that regularly reminds me that it exists. One day, there was a sudden energetic knock on my office door. I opened it and there was a woman standing outside with a very worried look on her face.

„Are you all right?“ she asked.
„Yes, I'm fine,“ I replied, slightly woozy from the last cigar.

Then she told me: „The CO2 alarm has gone off downstairs by the entrance - for your office!“

Well, what can I say? Creativity has its price, and for me it's sometimes a bit of a near-firefight. But don't worry - the smoke will still rise in 2025, just perhaps a little more cleverly 😉

I sincerely wish you the best of the best in the new year!
