POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

2022. That’s when this journey began.

What started as a passion project quickly became one of the most challenging experiences I’ve ever faced as a filmmaker.

No budget. Limited time. Endless obstacles. and a vision I felt I never fully got the chance to execute properly

I remember walking away from production feeling defeated. I was frustrated with myself, questioning my decisions, replaying everything I could’ve done differently. I knew what I wanted this film to be, and it hurt knowing I couldn’t capture everything I had envisioned.

What people don’t always see is the weight that comes with creating something you genuinely care about, especially when you’re trying to make something out of absolutely nothing.

There were moments I wanted to walk away from this film entirely. What was supposed to be something I was proud of became something I struggled to even look at.

Four years later, after countless setbacks, delays, and lessons learned, I can finally say my film is ready.

I’ve had to learn that being an artist isn’t always about executing a perfect vision. Sometimes it’s about finding the courage to finish what you started, even when the journey looks nothing like you imagined.

This film represents more than what you’ll see on screen. It represents perseverance, sacrifice, growth, and a version of myself who refused to give up, even when I felt like I had failed.

To everyone who gave their time, energy, and talent to help bring this project to life, thank you. Especially those who believed in it when there was nothing to gain but the experience.

Four years in the making. Today, I finally get to share a piece of it with the world.

My official trailer is here.

I cannot even begin to put into words what the past year has meant to me, and Lucas. It has truly brought us so much joy, challenge and love.

The warmth (literally and figuratively) that this city brings to your heart is indescribable, and every single person that I have met have left such a stamp on my soul I will never ever forget the memories made. Here’s to many MANY more.
