When marketing and advertising is beautifully done, it makes you think, it pulls on your heart strings and if that is one of their aims to make you find out more.
This is exactly what this short film did for me.

#dementiaawareness
This past weekend, Michael and I premiered our 9th film and I performed live for the first time in five years. It required:
1 - Hiring a babysitter for more hours than we could comfortably afford.
2 - Pumping after the kids went to bed and brainstorming ways to get my child to drink milk not directly from me.
3 - Commuting between rehearsals, screenings, performances, and home to nurse, hand off the kids, and spend quality time with them.
4 - Handling a sick child who couldn’t attend school and soothing a baby awake for two hours at night due to my accidental throat-clearing.
On Sunday, we did not rest. It’s not an option with two small kids.
The weekend was hectic but rewarding, and I am grateful for the experience, but Monday brought some much-needed relief.
I don't share this to gain sympathy or compete in the exhaustion Olympics– "Oh yeah, you only got 4 hours of sleep? Well, I only got -0.37!"
And yes, having children and pursuing my career are my choices.
But when I hear stereotypes like "Millennials are lazy and just don’t want to work," I question what the standard definition of "work" really is.
Is it measured by a LinkedIn profile, frequent title changes, or hours logged in an office? Or by the income and possessions, it allows one to accumulate?
If that's the case, then maybe I am lazy. Maybe I don’t want to “work”. Why would I?
Curious: How do you define or redefine work 👇🏽?
Ask how I bootstrapped $575K in pre-sales and investments as a Filmmaker and Content Marketer
"They have two children and still make films."
(Barely managing, TBH 🤣).

My little one minute film "Callie and Bee: Hoop Dreams" has now been accepted into three film festivals. Can''t say much at the moment, but I'll have a few announcements about that in the next month or so.
One of them had me make a trailer for the film (which is almost as long as the film itself.) Take a look:
