How did you get into filmmaking?

I appreciate that converse.
0:28:37
It's a long conversation, but I'll I'll try to distill it.
0:28:41
I came to a crossroads.
0:28:42
I was always involved in the arts.
0:28:45
I specifically loved acting, and I came to a crossroads where I couldn't afford college any longer.
0:28:51
I'd paid for it out of pocket and, ran out of money.
0:28:55
So I decided I was either going to join the Air Force, a more stable career, or leave to go to LA, to try to make it as an actor.

And I decided to join the military and here I am today.
