Mr. Feature Creep: Just One More Change
Send us Fan Mail Ever had a media video client ask for “just one more thing”? Welcome to the world of Feature Creep—where a simple three-minute video spirals into CGI mascots, helicopter shots, courtroom drama, and toddlers dictating color palettes.

Learn why chasing “perfect” can turn into ego management, h...

Send us Fan Mail Meet Ernest “Skip” Wilson—Florida Keys legend, part-time adventurer, full-time excuse machine. In this episode, Skip, Chug, and Ricky Two-Toes haul in a monster grouper… only to realize it’s tagged by marine scientists and comes with more paperwork than their boat. From shady bars to busted skiffs, and with the marine patrol closing in, Skip’s only weapon is his charm—and maybe one legendary fib about “Principal Finnegan” the noble fish. A sunburnt comedy of errors, packed wi...

In this episode, we meet Ernest “Skip” Wilson—ex-adventurer, ex-romantic, and full-time Keys philosopher with a caffeine addiction and a rusted mailbox full of stories.

What unfolds is a playful and poignant ride through memory, imagination, and legacy.
