In this day and age people have been coming up creative and unique ways to get their name out there, through music, videography, makeup, vlogging, there are many outlets for upcoming creators to make their mark.
However, with these outlets comes competition, unrelenting and climacteric to the success or failure within the entertainment industry.
In spite of that, one particular group has managed to rise above the noise of their competitors, taking their talents and merging them into quite a force to be reckoned with.
As I talk to David Bulla, the co-founder of Primitive 21, a deeper insight as to the inner workings and mindsets of this generation’s top event coordinators is revealed.
Check out the interview below:
Q:
The first question is how did this collective originate? What were the roots that brought you guys together to make this concept an actual thing?
A:
Primitive 21 is a group of talented young men striving to build a society that exerts inspiration in the entertainment industry amongst millennials within fields of entertainment such as entertainers, DJs, hosts, comedians, and more.
We are an original entertainment conglomerate who curate events that not only bring the community together, but we curate events that allow us to use our executive talents in order to provide exposure to other unique and original creatives and entrepreneurs.
We first started off by being thrown in a big group chat not really aware of who was who then one guy in the chat wanted to do an event but upperclassmen weren’t taking him seriously so we decided to help him accomplish this event ourselves.
That event was our first talent showcase. We decided to make this group of individuals into an actual thing because we realized we could accomplish a lot together. One of the guys in the group came up with the name primitive and since we were the class of 2021 we simply made it Primitive 21.
Q:
That's honestly quite inspiring to hear. It doesn't take much to help someone out and in doing so, you guys were able to construct something even more successful out of it.
If you could, describe a typical day of a person in your position within the company.
A:
A typical day would usually consist of multiple meetings. It could be for planning events months in advance, meeting owners of clubs/venues, booking clubs/venues, and discussing funds and finances.
It also consists of promoting for different events whether it be through social media or handing out physical flyers. Also keep in mind that we also have to balance out school, social life, and other extracurricular activities.
Sounds like a very packed schedule. A lot of background work needs to be put in place for events of this size to work as well as they do without too many of any problems at all.
Add in school and it's a good bit to juggle, but you guys seem to have a good handle on how to balance between the two.
Q:
Very nice. Any other forms of advice to give those who want to maybe start up in this type of business endeavor?
Also, any upcoming events that we should look out for and promote for you guys?
A:
That about sums it up tbh and as of rn nothing that major but we do have a party, December 1st.
Q:
Alright, good. Nice to see a closer perspective of Primitive 21. Thanks for the time.
A:
No problem at all and thank you in return.
