Today is the final stage of my first stage as a film maker. I have embarked on a 9 week journey and today is my 9th week. I have learned a lot over the pass 270 hours in my journey.
I have learned the art of making flash, the art of editing a film, the art of inspiring others and at the same time the art of finding myself.
After this long journey, I have not given up. In fact I am stronger now than before.
All I want to do now is to craft my knowledge and use it to make my master piece.
Some may call my profession tedious or not profitable, but not once have they questioned the emotion that I endure from it. I feel happy and free when i direct or edit a film. I feel content and satisfied when I finish a film project. I feel courageous and adventurous when I start a film project. I feel alive when I pick up a camera.
Although money makes the world go round, happiness makes your life.
I can say I learned a lot in my 9 week journey, but saying is not the same as doing. Here is a website that was crafted from my 9 week learning experience:

I will never stop the fight to becoming what I want to be in life. In filmmaking there is no white towel, but a lot of coaches that inspire you to win.
Motto of the day: "Keep Bumping and stay Humping"
