My sister always wanted to work in Film Production. It's been a dream for her ever since she was a little girl.
So she made it happen.
She went to school in SoCal and majored in Film Production even though it put her states away from her then very serious boyfriend.
She endured grueling internships in LA during the summer months.
After graduation, she worked a secure office job while she submitted resumes for a career in her desired field.
And when one finally came through, and paid way less than she was making at work or expecting at all, she hesitated.
She debated back and forth.

And then, she took the risk head-on. She fled the secure for the dream.
And it has been a true dream for her.
She's worked her tail off the last 10+ years to move up in the company.
She met her British husband there.
Which brings with it her son, her beautiful house, her regular travels to England ... her life as she knows it.
All because she always followed her dream, even when it was scary. And paid less. And made her cry in the beginning as she worked endless hours. She stuck with the dream.
Of course the dream was always just "the job" for her. But with it, I have seen that the dream she acted on actually cultivated the well-rounded life she loves even more. And that makes me incredibly happy to witness as her friend, sister, fellow human.
With respect to that, on this fine Friday, I'd love to share the newest trailer from the latest film that she (and my insanely-talented Bro-In-Law!) is working on:

It looks truly cool (voices include Rooney Mara, George Takei, Matthew McConaughey, Ralph Fiennes and Charlize Theron) and I can't wait to see the 4th film she's been a part of.
Proud of my sister for following her dream and in doing so, letting that shape the every day reality of her life.
Think of all that she wouldn't have if she had just let it pass her by.
