Happy Birthday, Blake!

You are all aware of what an wham-bam awesome director Blake Bolan is; well we love her for that reason and SO MANY MORE!

Happy Birthday, Blake!

"Blake doesn't do dumb/shitty things. Rather, she takes responsibility and constantly apologizes for all the dumb/shitty things the rest of us do. This would be maddening if she wasn't so damned sincere. Blake is genuinely the most wonderful human being on the planet." - Tanner

"Blake Elizabeth and I have been friends for over a decade, surviving university, road trips, international border questioning, being roommates, not being roomates, flying shoes, too much booze, and of course, founding a theatre company together.  The first time I really thought about Blake was when our favorite professor advised me, don't make the traditional casting choice - cast Blake. She's smart, and you'll be better off. I was and I am. I love you, beab." - Laura

"Blake is intelligent, stylish, sexy, organized, and creative. She also has a great laugh. So she is basically everything that Everyone Wants to Be. And remember The Ravagers? Yeah, she directed it. It was badass." - Amber

"Blake, if there were a bridge on fire, crocodile-infested waters below us and a koi fish in a bowl on the other side which we had to rescue for purposes unknown; I would trust you to lead the way. Some sort of human chain? Do we have stilts? Maybe a firehose or frozen jet of water we can skate across? I don't know, we'll work out these details later. Happy birthday, lady." - Carl

"Almost everything that Blake says is thoughtful and intelligent and at least a few steps ahead of where my brain is at. Girl be sharp! I also love her vast collection of skirts and support her anti pants approach to her personal style." - Mason

"Blake is like the sunshine that pours in the window at work around 4 o'clock on a Friday; she makes you feel like you are important, invincible, and loved. She has the warmest spirit, great intuition, and the smartest (but still silly!) sense of play. AND she'll melt your heart by simply walking really, really, really slowly..." - Hannah

"Blake is an amazing artist and fabulous writer!  Sweet and sometimes sassy, honest and humble.  I love her hair, her passion, and her drive to make the world a lovelier place.  She IS what Maya Angelo sings... 'A woman of substance!'" - Christina

"블레이크 교사를 정말 좋아해요! Blake is tough and confident on the outside but such a sweetheart on the inside. It's a lovely combination that makes a person feel empowered instead of intimidated around her. I'm so glad that Savage Umbrella brought us together! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" - Candy

"Blake has this intense drive to see the very best in everyone. It makes her a gifted director, a kind soul and an irreplaceble friend. You just want to be better and better until you're the person she sees. It's amazing." - Heidi
