genesis
I remember this quote: ‘What you’re seeking is seeking you,’ and this has just proven to be very true for me. The routine that was missing in my life came back with a phone call from stavan Bhai. What an amazing week! I want to share that I am a lucky student to have gotten into buildspace, a school where you can work on your ideas—a school for just three months.
Yes, I am getting up at 6 again, but sleeping an hour more so that my mind doesn’t feel that I am changing too fast. You know, I don’t want to change too quickly; quick habits don’t last forever. I’ve read this in the book I am currently reading.
This week was the most productive I’ve felt in six months. Everything I did in the last few days was an upgrade to the idea I am working on. So, I have decided that I will be building a film school—a school where you can make a film, build characters, write a story, grow, make videos about anything in the world, and just call yourself a filmmaker. I have been in this business since 2019, from just entering as a production intern on sets with Nudo Films to making films with them and also doing two as an actor. I just love making films.
Why is this important to me? Well, I believe films are the only thing that has given me motivation to get up and do something. Films have given us so much laughter, crying, joy, and hope. I don’t have to see the subtitles to understand a film. The emotional connection I have with films is something I will protect. I have so many unwritten stories with me that I want to write and direct. I need to give hope to others that I can do anything, and the only means I have is by making films.
Well, I don’t have much to write about the experience I’ve had this week because I was really happy. I think you only write when you’re unhappy or just sad because there’s so much negativity in you that you want to express through your words. You just can’t explain happiness or joy in words; even the words don’t do justice to the feeling of being happy. I can give you the true measure of happiness: when you get up in the morning and, as you open your eyes, you’re just out of bed brushing your teeth. As soon as you look into the mirror and smile, you’re happy. That’s it. Maybe for some, it can be a mechanism to cope, but for me, it’s just enjoying life, embracing the biology of 100,000,000 years, and working on your idea—something that’s not tangible, not in your hands, not physically present, but still, you’re working towards making a castle out of it.
Let’s see how the next one goes. I hope to give my absolute best and progress little by little. In the meantime, watch the video that I posted this week: https://youtu.be/cDX-S-_xWFA
