    Honestly man, I am so excited to see you pursue your passion for filmmaking more rigorously.

    Well if you're in your 20's and you have the opportunity, why not? It's nice to step out of your bubble and then explore a new place if there's a chance. You grow so much from that. If NY is not the place in the future, at least you have lived and explored a place outside of where you were from. I may not move to NY, but would love to visit. Was supposed to visit before, but then the pandemic hit and kinda put a halt on traveling....but I may do so soon! Thanks for sharing!
