Occasionally falling out of love with your craft is par for the course when you become disillusioned by the commodification of your Art.

Hold on tightly to the work that inspires you, the pieces that remind you why your desire to create was ignited in the first place.

Knowing all I know now, more days than not I genuinely wonder why I pursued this masochistic path of filmmaking--but then I remember "healthy delusion" has brought me this far; further than I was when I started.

Ignorance can sometimes be the variable keeping us motivated.

Octavia, Zora, Toni, Djibril, Ousmane, Lynne, Claire, Park, Bong, Wong, Andrea, Roy, Taiye, Yaa...just a few of the artists, by first name, who continue to remind me why I create.
