Hello Everyone! This is Film Story.

My friend it’s a blessing and a privilege to know you. Watching this got me crying and realizing that every single obstacle can be turned into a blessing. This video is a reminder to keep living. Thank you for telling my story. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I remember taking acting classes with Michael a few years ago in Boston and thinking "out of our whole group, Michael's the one who's got the most real chance of making it" and there he is. Life goes around and has many unexpected turns. I'm a medical student now, and he's following his own path because he never gave up. Now that's inspiring!

Took me a whole year to ''Just Start'', I dilly-dallied then made the decision and since starting my creative journey, I can't stop, its all I think about, it's all I enjoy doing, it fills my cup! This is a beautiful message not just for creatives but literally applies to everything in life. You told this story pretty well, taking notes here and there, it's always wonderful learning from each other. Thanks!

@FilmStory Год назад

Thank your time and for your comment..! Glad it spoke to you. And wow I wish I could travel around the world like you...!!

@DylColeman Год назад

"Just start." It's what I tell myself every time I hesitate in creating. And I think he's right - it's hardest thing to do, but the more we do it, the more we realize that if we only step off "the ledge," the journey is upward, not downward. The creative community is a beautiful thing. As unique as we think our struggles are, we all go through it. If you know, you know, and sharing that knowledge is gift for those that are still trying to take that first step. Thank you! This was amazing to watch. Very inspirational.

@FilmStory Год назад

How do I start

@DylColeman Год назад

@@okandameshark951 try and make something you want to make. Anything. Start small. It could be writing out an idea you have rattling around in your brain, producing a single image you have in your head, or creating a RU-vid video about something you care about. If you do it purposefully, you will inevitably get better at whatever you attempt, and you’ll also learn more about yourself and discover others on the same journey as you along the way

@reggimentmedia6105 Год назад

As a Nigerian creative living in Canada, I've had this problem over and over again. I have worked on a few movie sets and met some incredible people but more often than not I'd have these thoughts "You're just wasting your time", "people probably won't like it", "maybe its time to quit". You get so wrapped up in your head that you start to doubt yourself, your accomplishments... your talent. This was truly inspiring to watch, I'm glad I stumbled on this video! and to everyone having doubts, JUST START!

@FilmStory Год назад

Hey mate..! Thanks so much for your comment. Thank you for sharing your story. Yeah, I think it's a challenging reality all the creatives go through. I do too have the same fear from time to time, but I try to remind myself to enjoy and endure the process...! BTW, good to see you fellow Canadian!

This message for me in now. I’m a painter. I used to afraid to be a painter. How can I get money? Can I survive…I just want to draw my artworks. I dont want to be anything else. And this is me. I appreciate my choice. It make me really really happy. And really worthy. In my journey, I know myself deeper and deeper. It’s the beautiful thing in my life. With love. Sending my love for all of you. ❤ Thank you!

As a young creative, this video really struck a chord. I spent my first year of design school feeling like I wasn't achieving what I wanted to achieve outside of class because I had so many doubts about what was possible or if I could hold myself to perform to my own standards. This year, I'm proud to "just start" and start making art I want to create. It's still early stages, but it's setting things in motion...I'm starting!!! Thank you.

Thank you for this. I am at such a low point in my life, ready to just give up and give in to the darkness. This gave me hope. I will take one small step towards the light today because of you. And I'll do it again tomorrow, and the day after. Thank you

@mashudali8482 Год назад

@@travelswithted As I'm I bro. I've separated from partner and am having to battle to see my daughter. Only seen her 3 times in the last 16 months. Last 18 months, I've gone through the healing and hate stage, very taxing and draining on myself. Many failed ideas last year. After the culling, I realised it's this I want to do. Content over marketing as a side hustle. Don't give in. This is a test, a test you can handle (I know it sounds weird) but hang in there. It's a step by step thing. Day after day. Hour after hour. Don't entertain the dark side. The game is to keep your heart clean and become what you want to become. What you're truly meant to become. Not the 'old you' but the new you. Example: me. I've always wanted to create media, audio, writing, filming, create my own brands and strories. 20 years ago. Digital marketing wasn't a thing. It became a thing after a few years. I broke into the industry. Years later. My nuke moment I mentioned. My dream of my own digital studio making webflow sites was dropped. 75% fulfilling. Creating my own stories, brands and content feels 10000% fulfilling. That's the context of my initial message. Hang in there. Keep your heart clean and do a lot of healing. Therapy has helped and still does. Look for a charity. It's cheaper

@bryanrobie4376 Год назад

I truly appreciate your documentary film. I came to the United States three years ago and started my career over again. There have been times when I thought about quitting and finding a different job for a better life, but nothing is better than doing what you love. Just sit here and waiting for the next poetry.

@norasummers6877 Год назад

from darkness, to colour, and that beautiful smile..... being true to who you are is inspirational, it’s growing, it’s walking with our creator that paves our destiny. Often the bridge is the integrity to hold on to our dreams, and the essence of who we truely are despite the seemingly hopelessness of it all, then besides all odds “ just start”, with one small thing! one little step,a movement a moment, forward........ the caterpillar would eventually gracefully transition and transform into a beautiful butterfly and fly.❤️✨🦋🙌

There is nothing more beautiful when you have a partner who supports and motivates you.

It's 4:26 am where I am right now. I am a 51 year old former I.T. professional, now professional videographer/editor. I'm working on the final cut of my first feature film. This is by far the most work i've ever put in on a project and it scares the crap out of me. Someone told me that I was too old to pursue my dream recently. I didn't listen. This video reminded me why. Creators create...it's what's in us to do. I waited a long time to work up the courage to. But i'm here now and I won't stop. Thanks for the wisdom.

@stevewoodburn3347 Год назад

WOW. This film and this man's story is so powerful. Got me crying. Deeply moving. Michael didn't give up and made his own way ...I give up too early. Make excuses.

This is the message all creators need when faced with uncertainty, I've pondered many times and thought so many ideas, but failed so many times to push after I started. I can't express how many times I've walked those same streets in this video thinking. We shouldn't think too much or wonder how others will judge. We are already our biggest critics as creatives. Make anything, experiment, learn, get better. Improvement will only occur through our experiences. Thank you friend!

This video has inspired me, I have been sick with a cough and cold, but the ideas are going through my head, the world needs, what we have.

This hit home for me. Thank you for making it and thank you being you. "as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same... As we are liberated from our fears our presence automatically liberates others" That is exactly what comes to mind after watching you video! Thank you!

Yes we all need this kind of liberation..! Thanks for the comment 🙏🙏

This video has brought me to tears. This was a beautiful story and Michaels wife when she suggested doing auditions in his native language was epic. The reason I was so emotional was because to see someone show their vulnerability is so inspiring. I am a creative and started down the route of art four years ago after I lost my partner in tragic circumstances. This video was extremely powerful in the lessons of trying not to let shame (among other things) to stop us from starting. Thank you so much for sharing the experience of another creative. 😊

I remember I didn't like poetry a year ago. Then one day I had to write a poem for an assignment and i realized i loved it. Haven't stopped since

Great message!! So inspiring for all of us creatives to get out there and stop waiting for someone else to give us permission or opportunity, but to create it ourselves ✨

@FilmStory Год назад

Yes that’s right…! If we just start, we will create opportunities.

“Putting yourself out there attracts people who are like minded” word.

Man the message hits harder when you see the filming in your home town

@josephemmons8496 Год назад

First, well done. The message and the look was awesome. I've been working as a professional video editor/photographer/shooter for the last 10 years, and now, just now, have started to get started on my journey in this platform of RU-vid. I've been talking about it and thinking about it for damn near five years, but I never really started. If I was honest about that, it was because I knew my time and resources were limited and I wouldn't be able to put out content that looked like what I wanted it to; like the content I produce for work. But late last year, I finally just said it's time. Honestly, ignoring other peoples opinions and my worries about people thinking I'm a fraud is the hardest part. But Michael is right, I know it is putting myself out there in the world to find like minded people. Even with the very, very small interactions I've had thus far on this platform, it is clear that creating things and connecting with people is powerful. Very well done. New sub here.

Hey first of all, thanks so much for sharing your story! And congrats on your new start, putting yourself out here on RU-vid. It's not easy, isn't it? But let's not quit..! Let's continue walking this journey. We will get somewhere if we have the right direction. Cheers..!

@josephemmons8496 Год назад

@@FilmStory for sure. It's definitely a new challenge even for someone with a lot of experience in video.

“You know in Nigeria in my 20s, I kept waiting for opportunities. Not knowing that… I could create my own opportunity.” 🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🔥🔥 Thank you both for this story and these wonderful messages / reminders. I’m pleased the YT algorithm showed me it!
