"It’s the littlest decisions that shape our lives. Stray off course by just two millimeters, and your trajectory changes; what seemed like a tiny, inconsequential decision then can become a mammoth miscalculation now."

—Darren Hardy, The Compound Effect
"As a filmmaker, staying true to the essence of one's art is akin to guarding a sacred flame. It’s not about fame or fortune, but about crafting stories that resonate, that stir the human spirit, and kindle a spark of connection."
