Hey friends and community. I've never really opened the channels to reaching out to the community and those I know digitally before, and have been really feeling the need to speak to it. I am going back to school this fall and am taking some steps that feel really large for me, and I have to say that I really do need the help however it may come through.

I was accepted into an MFA Cinematography program at 3iS Institut de L'Image et du Son near the Paris area, and am every single day so grateful to even be able to say that- and of course with deciding to move forward on that am also coming upon the many expenses that come along with Visas, tuition, materials, living and actually physically moving myself out there. These days there have been so many moving parts these days including fixing up a temp car situation here in NY to get to work (my baby Aztek has seen the end of her days and has served so well in the last few years), and I can't say I've tried everything I could without actually speaking up directly and asking for financial assistance, donations or even resources that might help a fellow artist/human out in the process.

I also want to speak to this idea that there really is no shame in asking for help, and there shouldn't be any more when someone needs it, when there is a dream to be reached and made real, and when someone like me simply wants to live from the heart and feel slightly less stress from the many steps it takes in the journey of life to open up and connect in the 3D or digital space.

If you feel called to help in any way shape or form, it really will not go unnoticed. It is something that is going to help me be capable of creating and sharing more beyond what I have before, to learn, and to simply exist a little easier in this period of time. If you have any questions or insights you would like to share, feel free to reach out to me directly or by email at [email redacted].
