When you get laid off it's not a pink slip its a blank page

.
“When life hands you lemons, make lemonade”


That's what the short film “Lemonade” is all about.

I just finished watching the movie. Lemonade documents a dozen folks who were laid off from the ad world. Each story begins with pain, anger and disappointment but moves on to enlightenment, joy and a celebration of possibility and life.

Laid off or not I urge you to find a cozy spot and watch this film. What started out as a project to document the lives of folks who were laid off turned into a documentary about the possibilities they discovered for themselves. It's not about ranting, it's about being handed a blank page, however abruptly, and how people took that page and wrote new stories for their lives.

Prepare to be moved and inspired.
