We had the good fortune of connecting with Enzo Kristensen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Enzo, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I am a big believer that taking a risk is the right way forward in life. Historically, playing it safe hasn’t helped anyone get far, from Christopher Columbus searching for India, taking the risk of dying at sea with his crew to the founder of Amazon. Jeff Bezos quit his job as Senior Vice President at an investment firm to invest whatever he had in his pocket, plus borrowed money from his parents, to start an online book store. Risk has, in my eyes, proven to be a successful strategy in building something truly great. Of course, risk comes with the chance of failing, but that is what makes the reward so much more satisfying. I am always ready to take risks for what I personally believe in, like moving to Los Angeles at the age of 18, with no friends, family, or connections in the country to help me or rely on. It is hard to be on your own and trying to make it with no one else but yourself. Risk-taking and being the guy who sets everything into motion, that’s what will get you results in life. I am currently working on two different film projects and trying my hardest to obtain funding to get them off the ground. One of the most difficult issues at the moment is staying strong and continuing my passion while fighting the constant powerlessness experienced by independent workers as a result of the pandemic. Not all fish can remain still in water without dying; you must be hungry as a shark for results and take risks.

What should our readers know about your business?
What sets my projects apart from others is deficiently the amount a passion my team and I put into them. We are strong believers that working on a project you are passion about makes the end result so much better. Your current project is about how the current celebrate culture is being mistreated and how celebrates get treated like animals in a cage when fans take pictures of them without their consent in their private life. Looking greatly forward to release this project later this year and hope it will make people think differently about their actions toward their fellow human being or just have a good time enjoying the short film

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
LA has many things to offer and outside the pandemic I would deficiently bring him along to Perch LA, Broken Shaker, Calabra, Katana, Barney and of course Buffalo Wild Wings for some spicy wings, a pint and some good old American Football on a Sunday and to top it all up with a Los Angeles Lakers game. The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would definitely like to thank my family for the support over the years and as well as my old high school friends who helped me out with my independent projects at any hour of the day. Patrick Mûller-Hanke,Maxance Louvety, Zarmesh Panchoe, Max Themistocli & Nabeel Thank you so much for your help and support over the years.
