When Your Family Doubts YOU

Earlier today, my Granny suggested that I become a Plumber like one of my family members. It’s very interesting to see my family, slowly but surely, have doubts about my chosen career path. Movies.

On Thanks Giving my aunt told me I’m going nowhere.

People think that success is supposed to happen overnight and that’s never the case. I’ve been learning and studying the craft of filmmaking for 10 years & not that I’ve done much, but the films I’ve made so far, I wouldn’t have been able to make 10 years ago.

I feel like each phase I go through, whether it involves making a feature film, a short film, or a PSA, is preparing me to be a well rounded filmmaker. There’s plenty of things going on with me behind the scenes, but I’m not the type to blow up the fact that there might be some interesting opportunities on the horizon because things fall apart just as quickly as they come together.

Because I’m not talking about this stuff, my family seems to assume nothing’s going on, little do they know, that’s not the case.

To all my fellow peers, whether you’re involved in music or movies, or any other creative endeavor please keep believing in yourself know matter what people say or think.

I believe.

*I appreciate everyone in my small circle of friends that believes in the cause. You guys and gals keep me going*
