A letter to my brother, the Academy Award Nominee


Dear Addison:

About twenty years ago, as you watched the Academy Awards on television, you turned to mom and said "I'm going to be there some day."  

You've "been there before" ... in attendance with colleagues ... but not like today.  TODAY is really that day.  A celebration of your first official nomination, representing two decades of hard work.  Professional work done the right way, without compromise of who you are as a collaborator or your personal standards for being an amazing husband and father.  

Enjoy this moment, Addison.  Your "first Academy Award nomination" will never happen again.  Your family is so proud of you.

Love,
Brayer
