Make Films a Ritual

Make films like it’s a ritual. Not a chore. Not a checklist. A soulful practice you return to again and again — like a hobby, a therapy, a meditation. 

When you show up to cinema with reverence, it rewards you in ways nothing else can. 

Because filmmaking isn’t just a craft. It’s a universe.

It carries everything inside it — the name, the money, the contacts, the glitter, the fascination, the sex, the madness, and the soul. Cinema is chaos with a heartbeat.

And remember this: funders and producers aren’t a big problem if your commitment and conviction to making films is deadly serious. When you’re all in, the right people appear.

And here’s the beautiful truth:

When you commit to the ritual, the films themselves pull you forward. They bring the fame, the fortune, the friendships, the doors you didn’t even know existed. You don’t chase the world — the world starts chasing you.

So make films.

Make them with obsession.

Make them with love.

Make them until the ritual becomes your destiny.

The screen will take care of the rest.
