The Journey To get Here

"When I tell you I made every sacrifice necessary to get here I mean it. I spent almost 7 years saving every penny I earned to save up for studio equipment. I worked full time and on my off time I taught myself all the editing and design softwares to make use of that equipment. I taught myself how to build out full production sets. From mixers to camera switchers to headphone amps you name it. I studied social media marketing and video structure every chance I got. For years and years no one understood my vision or what I was ultimately pursuing. So I showed them.

I believe that my consistency will carry me as far as I want to go. I don’t believe anyone owes me anything in this life. I don’t believe in waiting for someone else to make your dreams come true. I believe in doing the work and slowing down for no one. I do not value ideas, only the execution of ideas. I fiercly and unapologetically believe in myself."
