After you are done climbing, don’t forget to let down the rope.
I came across this quote some years ago and it has stayed with me ever since. I took it so personally that I made a quiet promise to myself. I would not wait until I was completely done climbing before I started letting down the rope.
I have always known that my life is bigger than me. At the core of my purpose is the desire to be a mirror of possibilities for other creatives to see what is possible.
That conviction is why, since 2018, I have dedicated every January to sharing, teaching, and pouring into the next generation of filmmakers through
@_shooteditrepeat .
Every edition has come with its own success stories, but this year felt different. I introduced interest group training sessions into the curriculum and invited some of my past students to return and facilitate those sessions.
A true full circle moment for me was when
@oluwole_ola shared slide 16 and slide 17 with me.
The past six days, though draining both physically and financially, have been the most rewarding of my year and easily the highlight of my January.
Thanks to all my friends that came to take a session
