This Week's Firebelly Chronicle: BONEYARD BEER Owner & Brew Master, Tony Lawrence

Have you ever dreamed of making a living producing that thing you feel like you were born to create?Tony Lawrence, Owner and Brew Master of Bend, Oregon's Boneyard Beer, is an example of someone who set out to create a good product, while following his passion for brewing beer. I know a good beer. I grew up in Santa Rosa, California, home to Russian River Brewing Company. I was raised on Pliny the Elder, Pliny the Younger and Blind Pig. Russian River Brewing Company is a beer company known across the globe for their expertise in creating award winning beers.The first time I tried Boneyard RPM IPA I was completely blown away. I had never tasted a beer as good as those brewed at Russian River Brewing Company. I knew immediately that I had to meet the brewer at Boneyard Beer and learn about the company, and those creating the beer behind the scenes. What I love about Boneyard Beer is not only their amazing beer product, but also the authenticity of their brand – who they are, what they stand for, and what they don’t stand for.They are a company and a brewery to watch (...and taste).Afterwards, join our conversation in the comments below the audio and video. Enjoy!

Academy Award Nominated Documentary Filmmaker // Roko Belic

I first heard the name "Roko Belic" when I was in graduate school in San Francisco. Years before, Belic's directorial documentary debut, Genghis Blues had been a huge hit. It won the Sundance Audience Award and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. I had been working on my graduate thesis film which explored the topic of Happiness, and several people I met throughout my research pointed me in Belic's direction. Eventually our paths crossed when I attended a voice-over recording for his most recent film's narration.

For his most recent film, HAPPY, Belic teamed up with Hollywood heavyweight Tom Shadyac (director of Bruce Almighty, Liar, Liar among other films), who executive produced, to direct the feature documentary. HAPPY combines powerful human stories from around the world with cutting edge science to give us a deeper understanding of what makes us ultimately...happy.

What I admire most about Belic (besides his outstanding filmmaking) is his steadfast focus to keep true to himself and his art. He practices what he preaches and is a true example of artists helping artists, people helping people. He is in this with us.
