I had an opportunity to attend NBC film festival. It was an inspiring experience. Here are my thoughts directly from my journal (a few words have been omitted for the sake of privacy) enjoy!
“My life’s a movie!!! Its crazy where I am and seeing where I’m going and everything paying off. Today I woke up with the ability to laugh at myself and some of the silly decision I’ve made…Like driving my car up a hill when the transmissions already jacked and my girlfriend already offered to let me borrow her car. Instead of being an excellent receiver I find myself stuck up a hill on La Cienega and Sunset and reversing down looking for an alternate route to my final destination. funny. Even more I felt today for the first time that I’m living this life as an artist, it’s not me “trying to make it”. I’m just being and that idea felt so empowering.
I was so inspired by the NBC shortcuts film festival last night. I met a lot of great people and enjoyed the work presented. the world gets really small when you’re out and about and I saw myself in these people and I caught a glimpse of myself and my work chosen for this festival. i’m currently in pre-production for my first film and it allowed me to see the caliber of excellence I’m to aim for. This festival was created to bring exposure to underrepresented writers and directors in the industry. I recommend novice and experienced to attend this event. Its free and well done.

Listening to Ram Daas this morning helped really put my life in perspective. This is all a game. It’s all fun. Its meaningful and meaningless at the same time and I am blessed to be apart of the whole in the grand scheme of things. Wow. so many projects to complete before the end of the year. 2011 has been on hell of a year!!! I feel like I’ve revved up an engine and I’m full speed ahead.
I’ve been really _____________ lately…I’m sure it’s a spiritual urge I’m going through but manifesting itself as this energy. I still can’t stop thinking about __________ but hey, if it was meant to be it would be. Soooo I let the universe guide me to my self-awareness when it comes to relationships
