Honestly 2025 was nothing I thought it might be. Certainly grateful for so much as always, but not my easiest year. Thankful for art, and to working towards and executing ways to support myself financially with my passions. It's been a long journey thus far and I feel like at 23 I'm trying to turn the corner in a lot of ways this year. Almost every profesional I know has a better rig than me, flashier gigs seemingly more clients, and it gets discouraging sometimes. 2025 was a big year for my writing. I'm working harder in different ways and still dreaming.
Grateful for those of you who have been rocking with that dream since the start, and I am excited to see what 2026 will bring! I have been working on a big update video for my upcoming film but in due time.
These are mostly just my favorite moments from the year that I cobbled together in a day for Instagram.
I wrote this a month ago, and It's funny how much difference a month can make. Feeling uplifted after working on a pilot episode for a show my friend wrote, produced, and directed & after having some good time with Family this January. 2026 is off to a great start, at least for me personally not necessarily the world. I hope to be able to share more this year, and grow my filmmaking.
