Don’t Quit Films. Quit Doubting Yourself.

It’s not the films that break us.

It’s our limited thinking around them.

For a long time, I believed I had to do one or two more films and then walk away.
Say goodbye to the madness. 
To the magic.
To the pain.
To the poetry.

But here’s the truth that hit me like lightning:
The pain isn’t in making or quitting films.
The pain is in thinking we have to quit.

When I killed that thought — that I need to exit this world for peace or survival — I felt a wild new freedom.

When I said goodbye not to films, but to the idea of leaving films — everything opened up.

Suddenly, the game changed.
The energy shifted.
The sky said welcome back.
Opportunities began to glow in the dark like fireflies.

Why?

Because now I’m not chasing a film.
I am the film.
And all I need... is one hit.
Just one.

One film.
One micro-budget thriller.
One bang-on emotional script.
One powerful connect with the audience.

That’s it.
One hit.
And life changes overnight.

From struggle to abundance.
From silence to buzz.
From unknown to unforgettable.

And the best part?

I don’t need a big studio.
I don’t need a star.
I just need my fire back.
And my own permission to dream big again. 

If you're a filmmaker, a creator, a dreamer—

Let this truth sink into your bones:
You don’t need ten chances. You need one hit.
And it will never happen if you keep thinking of quitting.

Burn the exit map.
Fuel the creative fire.
Go all in.
Your next film could be the one.

No one remembers how many times you struggled.
But they will remember the film that changed your life. 

Don’t leave films. Leave your doubts.

Big money will follow.
Magic will unfold.
And the world will say:
Where was this filmmaker all these years?
