A few months ago I gave myself permission to dream again. I had been so inwardly fustrated with doing and not seeing the results that I desired. I took sometime off from doing music videos and projects for other people besides weddings in 2013-2014 because I felt like the projects were sapping the life out of me. It wasn’t the projects that were sapping my creativity but the people I was working with. Working creatively with people can be hard. You may not always agree and people tend to slide into your role as a director. Needless to say I needed sometime to dream again.
Working with others is rewarding I absolutely love it. However, I need creative freedom as a director and writer. Taking the step back allowed me to dream again. If you have been dry in your creativity its time to re-evaluate why you are doing what you do. Are you writing and shooting for money? Are you an accountant for the pay? Why did you get into what you are into? I got into creativity because I wanted to forge CHANGE.
My husband and I watched Belle last night and I was inspired. The movie was well written, the actors, set, and cinematography were all perfect. The message of the movie was heart wrenching. What are you willing to do for change and love?
Take a moment today and dream again! The names of what I do have changed company wise. From The Uprise, Arise, Kingdom First, Colab and now Creative Thought Media but the vision remains the same. Bring change in the world of media. Will you dream with me? What’s your dream? What’s stopping you?
