Man bro this is dope. The journey you’ve had alone is so inspiring. The “patience is key” is so true. Even in shooting. You get restless waiting for “ the moment”. Love it bro.

[@MarcusRFilms]

Thanks man. Bro that project broke me in FAST! To date it was the toughest film project I’ve ever had to shoot…but I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything!

[@Sludge_Inc]

Anytime ANYONE shoots a feature it is extremely impressive and more than most film “buffs” will ever accomplish. Great job.
