In this vlog, I take you behind the scenes as we gear up for big meetings in May for The Arbiters. From refining the script to building out detailed storyboards and concept art, we’re practicing daily to ensure everything is sharp for the pitch. I also talk through our planning for the Annecy Film Festival—including travel logistics—and why I’ve paused work on my filmmaking book (temporarily!) to prioritize The Arbiters.

Plus, I share insights from my manifesting journal now that I’m halfway through the process, reflect on lessons from watching the Grammys Rewind series, and recap my Boston trip for Emerson College’s film fest and men's soccer alumni event. It’s a packed update on balancing the creative grind, personal growth, and staying grounded in the journey.
