Me Vs. Myself

Well, it's been a while since I've written anything. I've just felt so unsatisfied with a lot of things in my life, that I'm just waiting for something amazing to happen. Maybe I shouldn't do that. Truth is, some amazing things have happened this year.

I think I've come to terms with a lot of things that have I've been battling against. Or maybe, it's not even that. Maybe I've just let go of caring about what people think, and instead embrace who I am, with them.

I've also accomplished one of my life-long bucket list goals. When I moved out to Los Angeles, I knew that I had wanted to do something big. I knew that I wanted to use the talent that I knew I had to create something special. I've always wanted to direct a film and submit it to a festival. That's it. That was the goal. It ended there.

Well, this year, LA Inc. (LA's Tourism Bureau) created a contest with NewFilmMakers to create a film promoting the Los Angeles. To my surprise, I (a) complete the project (b) submitted it (c) was selected as a finalist. I actually got to attend a red carpet event! It was amazing. It was surreal. It was insane.

You have dreams sometimes that you think are unattainable, and it's so strange when you actually obtain them, and then the dream goes beyond anything you've ever imagined. I'm so blessed to be so lucky. I'm sure there are many filmmakers are work their whole lives that wish to have their film viewed by many people. Somehow, I've managed to obtain that goal within my first real film. It makes me wonder if I should change careers. Should I do film? I don't know. All I know is that I have a passion for it, and I'd love to continue doing it one way or another.

Here's my film which is located on DiscoverLosAngeles.com.
