I had a talk with my sister recently and she mentioned something to me that got me thinking. She was irritated that I never talk to her about milestones or achievements, but I explained to her that Ive always been like that. I think its the way that I grew up that I was taught to humble what I do and who I am. That what I have done or choose to be isnt anything to talk about. Thats the reason why I share more of what my colleagues have done than my own work. The reasons of me doing what I do isnt anything amazing either; I was never bullied and found solace in filming stories, nor did I find my calling in a stroke of enlightenment. It was a silly media class in high school that allowed me to share what made me smile, Kung Fu and Kung Fu movies. Though the reception was people laughing at me and my friend, it still made me feel good making people smile and enjoy their time, even when I was the butt of the jokes. And I found that after all these years, Im happy with that. To see people enjoy the videos and movies and projects that I have been part of. But of course, most of my projects just doesnt include me alone. It takes an incredible amount of talent, time, ideas, and support to create even the smallest of films. So while I dont praise myself, Id love to spotlight the amazing people that have been around to help me all these years. First off though, I want to thank my latest cast and crew for letting me make a silly idea into reality that, must a clerical error, has been selected as an official selection for the Urban Action Film Festival this weekend. Ive known for a while but yeah, I dont post stuff like that on my wall, but I cant ignore their work. Ill upload the short on my Youtube channel for you guys to watch this weekend after I get back from the festival. Next is that, I wanna thank the new cast and crew that are helping in me in my next (and finally) big project since -Wish- back in....2004. I certainly dont have the funds to completely do this but Im amazed at how many people are willing to help me pursue this dream project of mine. I guess this was one of those things that started making sense, try not to be a man of success, but a man of value. Its easy to see that I am not a successful man, but Im amazed to see that others find value enough in me to help me make it through. So please guys, stay tuned, because Im finally making one big project that fully encompasses what I want to share with the world :) tldr; I made a movie thats in a film festival this weekend (yay!) and Im making a bigger movie with a lot of friends that will be a super awesome, fun, and exciting project that I want all of you guys to enjoy.
