Nothing Lasts Forever

As the final day of shooting for "Nada Es Para Siempre" approaches I feel an extreme sense of relief.......and anxiety.

A six day shoot that spanned over 2 months will end this Saturday, the 25th of October. A project that has been simmering in me since 2010. One that is extremely personal and has been the hardest project I've ever done up until this point.

I produced, directed, acted and eventually will be cutting the short. I wore many hats on this one. The hardest part? Reliving my past. Becoming the character of "Adrian" was not easy. I've pretty much been him since the first day of shooting. I committed to the character, I've given my all to portray this damaged, confused and vulnerable man. A man I once was......

I have an immense amount of respect for the men and women that do this day after day. To become a character, to commit, to truly be that person is exhausting, but also therapeutic.

Growing up I always wanted to be an actor, but never pursued it. Better late than never right?

And with that I say goodnight. Until next time. Peace.
