We Did Not Come Here For The Weather
As Vincent Van Gogh once said, "For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream." It is not about the outcome in life, but rather the journey that makes everything worthwhile. The documentary takes viewers into the everyday lives of artists in Amsterdam. A portfolio of a musician, a graphic designer, and a man who blows bubbles for fun aside from his day job, demonstrates the importance of loving what you do while using your talents to enjoy the simple things in life. With these characters in mind, Amsterdam proves to be a city thriving with talented and determined artists eager to chase after their dreams.

I am a Film-Video major at the Pennsylvania State University. I believe that too often filmmakers forget that some of the most compelling documentaries to be created are hidden treasures and valuable stories right in the mist of our lives. Ben Okri stated, “Stories can conquer fear... They can make the heart bigger.” By sharing our own stories we can inspire and motivate others. Everyone has a story to tell. My job is to find those who are willing to tell it.
