I am thrilled to announce the first physical initiative (Tornto) aimed at raising awareness and helping those in need within the film industry. Starting on August 1st, 2024, I will be embarking on a challenge to run 1 mile every hour for 100 hours straight culminating in a grueling 100 miles completed. Why This Challenge? The film industry, like many others, has its fair share of professionals who find themselves in financial hardship. Whether it's due to unexpected life events, health issues, or the inconsistent nature of our work, the struggle is real and often unseen. Our goal is to shed light on these challenges and provide much-needed support. How Can You Help? 1. Spread the Word: Share this initiative with your friends, family, and colleagues. The more people know, the greater impact we can make. 2. Donate: Every dollar raised goes directly to supporting film industry professionals in need. No contribution is too small. 3. Join the Run: Whether you can run, walk, or cheer me on from the sidelines, your support is invaluable. Let's create a community of encouragement and solidarity. Stay Updated: Follow my journey on Instagram where I'll be sharing live updates, photos, and stories from the run. Together, we can make a difference, one mile at a time. Thank you for your unwavering support and for being a part of this incredible journey. Let’s show the world the power of our community and the strength of our unity.

Have you ever felt paralyzed by perfection? Stuck in analysis paralysis, overthinking every little detail until you've talked yourself out of taking action? Yeah, me too. But this week, something shifted! Instead of obsessing over making things perfect, I committed to making progress. It was an eye-opening experience that led me to adopt a new mindset - the power of "why not?" For too long, we've been bombarded with messaging around "why you should" do this or that. Follow the rules, color inside the lines, don't rock the boat. But where has that gotten us? Stuck in mediocrity, playing it safe. It's time to flip the script. This week, I stopped asking "why?" and started asking "why not?" Why not take that risk? Why not chase that crazy dream? Why not let your voice be heard? You see, in our community, we believe in empowering each other. We share resources, amplify voices, and lead by example. And this week's lesson? Leading by example means having the courage to do what others won't. Why not be the one who steps out of your comfort zone? Why not be the catalyst for change in your community? After all, if not you, then who? I'm not saying it will be easy. Embracing the "why not" mindset means leaving perfectionism behind. It means taking messy action and learning as you go. But isn't that better than being stuck, paralyzed by your own self-doubt? So today, I'm inviting you to join me on a 5-step journey to unlocking the power of "why not?" It's a process that helped me finally make progress this week, and I can't wait to share it with you. Forget "why you should" - that's society's script. It's time to re-write the story and embrace "why not?" Who's in? Step 1: Rediscover Your Original Agenda Before we go any further, I want you to take a moment and reflect on why you started this creative journey in the first place. - What were your original motivations and goals? - Write them down, and then share them with the group. - Let's reignite that passion and remind ourselves of the fire that fueled us from the beginning.

I am Jonathan, 15 years old, living in the Netherlands. I am a developer and designer, but I would love to add filmmaker to the list. A challenge you're facing: Actually making the content. I can create a raw script and a storyboard, but I can never get to the point of filming and editing the idea. A goal you're aiming for: To overcome my challenge and become a small filmmaker who tells his own stories, and to document the whole journey. Looking forward to connecting with you all! Thanks @Jordan Oram for this awesome community.
