Owner/Operator LaMar's Donuts
Dylan Allen did a wonderful job creating a movie for our LaMar's Donuts business in Blue Springs, MO. Dylan was very professional and arrived for our meeting prepared to go. He took pictures of our products for the slide show and created a great slide show movie with the pictures and information presented in an easy to understand format. Dylan was even available to assist later when we had some technical difficulties. Dylan was also nice enough to check in from time to time to ensure we were happy with the finished product. I would recommend Dylan’s services to any small business or anyone with a video production project.

You've got a shiny spirit my friend. That was a very present story. It checked me for sure. I tend to be pushy about everyone else's process. I love'em and I want them to see clearly as well, you know? Thanks Dyl. Let's continue!

I like it! i love the symbolism of the sweater. that was really creative. very nicely done.
thank you!
- Alexandria T.
Loved that Dylan. Such a beautifully simple metaphor for such a complex journey---mad props! I loved how playful the language was, you know, not like a serious spiritual teaching, but something very relatable. Well done!
- Katie A.
just checked this and read it. very insightful. very thoughtful. you're on a good one friend. it's really refreshing. not just for me that stuff will rub off on just about everyone you're around as long as they have an open ear and you have an open heart. i also just now am listening to the song. i'm not really paying attention to the words cause i'm typing but it sounds nice.
keep up this trip, you know like stay on the road and keep looking around not for a goal but for all the things around you on your way. self realization is it.. the source. and please please don't forget about me, i like it when you share. inspires me to get back at it. we've only a taste, but i intend to approach this um...topic? more seriously within my own days.
good evening
- Justin E.
A short story written by a thoughtful and passionate young man. Definitely worth the time to read.
- Mark M.
Dylan--loved this allegorical short story. Do you mind if I share with others?
- Mark M.
I think i like best the part when white sweater realizes that nothing you can do or say will directly change how a person feels of their sweater. not to say you can't influence, but honestly the best influence you can offer is to stay true to yourself and feel out your own path/ wear your sweater the way you love to, the way you were meant to and that is by far by far the best advice/insight you can offer to another. regardless of their stage of attachment
