2025 my favorite year maybe ever 🤯…I did 3 things I’m very, very proud of: ⭐️(really each should have their own post. maybe I’ll do a throwback eventually)

I was told I would not be able to put on the play “Fool For Love” a play I had poured half my year into. I was told in quote to “cut my losses” and that I can’t always get what I want. 🤭 However, I believe every problem has a solution and if you don’t have something solved, you just haven’t discovered the solution quite yet. I decided the solution was to rent a theater myself. I put on the play with one of my best friend’s @coyote_joanna and sold out BOTH nights of our show along side some of the most talented people I know. It was such a rewarding, growing experience it was my favorite memory of the year!!! 💕💕 

Two months after the play I needed to make my thesis short film and I was told something similar again “Alec this is a little much especially following the play, don’t you think you’re being too ambitious?” I was told there was no way I would possibly raise $15,000 in a month to put on the movie. I felt pressure so much pressure. I was crying everyday actually lol. My friends and I were all up pouring into the journey at all hours of the night for days, hanging flyers, calling people, rallying the town to get people to hear our story and…. we did it, we filmed the movie !!! That taught me all sorts of lessons within itself. ❤️❤️

A month after the movie I became the first in my core family to graduate with a degree. I’m a bit tired hahha. Since graduating I’ve taken some time to work in production mainly doing producing and focusing heavily on calming my nervous system for a second. hahhaa😇 The frantic escapade of those 3 things this year was a lot on me, yet the very most rewarding and the things I’m very most proud of achieving probably thus far. I learned when I’m ready to fight some more in 2026 I can and will do whatever I say I will even if it takes time!! What a great year 2025!! :) Cheers to being unrealistic, delulu and always doing what seems impossible!! 🙌🙌 #newyearseve #2025

Still remember how the first semester was tough, where I struggled with language, with technical stuff and with very intensive program. However, I’m so grateful for my teachers, classmates and for that challenges I had, cuz if I wouldn’t experience it, I couldn’t grow up as an individual and professional 🙏🎞️🎬🎥
