About this Video
I was working as an engineer in Arizona and living with my longterm partner. My partner loved it there, but I felt unfulfilled. June of 2025 I made the tough decision to move to LA and become the filmmaker I always wanted to be, but I was leaving him behind.
This story is based on my story, having to choose between your loved one or your career. The beauty about filmmaking is you can make up the ending you always wanted :)
