I always hashtag the phrase #ificandoitsocanyou. Now, here finally is an example of just that. On the left is Andre Joseph, a very talented film maker as well as my best friend for almost three decades. He's wanted to make movies for as long as I've at least known him. His long journey began with high school, leading to the premier of his first movie, The Evil Society, which he started in and directed in 2005. From there his movies only got better, as he clearly emersed himself in studying the greats and sacrificing many things, all for the sake of a dream. He's endured setbacks, and faced doubt from people he though were his friends. Last night's premiere of his latest movie, @thesaxophonist_ , pro ably his best movie to date, was the culmination of years of determination, doing anything and everything it took to make a dream a reality. It takes a lot of strength to do what he has done. Strength. This man is not just my brother, but he makes look in the mirror every time, as I ask myself how far I'm willing to go to make my own dreams come true...stress, fear and anxiety becoming relevant. Andre, this was your night brother . Congratulations and may your dreams always come true. #unitedinstrength #andrejoseph #nevergiveup #nevergivein #ajepyxproductions #beavinlawrence #strong #strength #thesaxophonist #brooklynfete #determination #mybrother #bigshotfilmdirector (at Brooklyn Fete)
