Why in my head do I feel so stuck?
Trapped, held down, suffocated by the fear of tomorrow.
What if fear itself wasn’t real?
Then I would have nothing to do.
What if tomorrow itself wasn’t real?
Then I would have no place to run to.

Caught in a forever marathon,
my mouth runs dry.
My soul yearns for more,
more of nothing.
Stillness. But it almost hurts.
Why can’t I move my legs.
What’s that smell.
I’m hungry now.
Ceviche tostada.
Mmmmm.

Some snapshots of life as of late

This simple Northern California way of living doesn't get much better

I've been feeling full of gratitude and abundance lately. This life is truly worth living

Go spread some joy today, and tell someone you love them

“dude. where is my lighter?” is out now on YouTube!

After watching “Paris, Texas” last December, I was inspired to make something. I had no ideas, no story, no script, no cast or crew, just a pack of cigarettes

I grabbed my camera and started shooting, and the story started to write itself

Somehow this little short that I made for fun got into the Oscar-qualifying deadCenter Film Festival

This whole experience has changed the way I’ve looked at creating art. Art, for me, is a true expression that flows from the subconscious and sometimes, just letting go can be the most powerful thing to do

So if you want to see this absurd short film, the link is in my bio. Much love

I improved a short with no intentions of submitting it to festivals and it somehow got into @deadcenterfilm

Go make movies. No matter the budget, the limitations, or the conditions. Never stop dreaming. Never stop creating.
