While working as a telemarketer in 1999, Chad began to feel as though his creative energy was being drained by the daily rejection and unbearable monotony of his job.  After years of low-paying jobs, Chad was scared to leave his telemarketing job selling mortgages because it was the most money he had made since he moved to Idaho in 1995. 

He began to set creative challenges for himself in the hopes of keeping his creativity alive,  as all creativity seemed dead and gone from most of his co-workers.  Doodles became weekly drawings, poems became weekly stories.   By week 16 he was completing a weekly story, written ambidextrously (maybe an unconsciousness plan to wake up the right brain in a left brain dominant world?), printed up using the office supplies and copy machine into small booklets with weekly drawings on the cover.  These booklets were left at coffee shops, hidden in libraries, left on airplanes and distributed anyplace somebody might stumble upon them with time to read.  They became known as the "Work In Sanity" stories when FASTER than SHEEP published some of Chad's weekly drawings and "Work In Sanity," a short story about his time as a telemarketer.  

"Breaking Cycles" was the first "Work In Sanity" story to be adapted to a script and made into a short movie.  It screened at the 2004 Idaho International Film Festival.  Other stories adapted to film are "Crawling Blanket Thing" ( which became the short film "Triple-U") and "Captain Cannibal."  FTB plans to film 2-3 more "Work In Sanity" shorts before they combine them to form a feature length film.
