Today, I want to share something with you that's been weighing heavily on my heart. You all know how much filmmaking means to me—it's not just a profession or a hobby; it's an extension of who I am.

I remember the days when I was just starting out, grappling with the frustration of having a head full of ideas but not the means or the mentorship to bring them to life. I've experienced the sting of doors being closed in my face, the pain of rejection and the disillusionment that comes with it. But it was those struggles, those hard-earned lessons, that shaped me into who I am today.

We all have dreams. For some of us, they’re still that—just dreams, waiting for the right moment to be nurtured and brought into existence. And it's that understanding, the memory of my own journey, that has inspired me to do something big.

I've just released a video on my YouTube channel offering my film equipment and mentorship to someone with a burning passion for filmmaking but lacking the resources to realise it. It's a project aimed at giving someone the chance that I wish I'd had all those years ago.

This is more than just a giveaway or a one-off opportunity. This is a call to all the dreamers out there, a chance for them to step out from the background and into the light.

So, I’m asking you from the bottom of my heart, to watch the video, to share it, and maybe, just maybe, we can change a life for the better. I can't do this alone; your support would mean the world to me.
