Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

 This quote come from the Alice in Wonderland books and was said by the White Queen.  It’s so great because it expresses the importance of maintaining a good imagination.  Our imagination gives us the ability to leave the world we live in and create one of our own.  We can do things we have never thought possible, go places we have never been and create things no one else could dream of.  Imagination is so important because it inspires us to think outside the box, making the real lives we live more creative!

I have never considered myself an inspiration to others but the last two weeks, I’ve been told by more people than ever before that I’m inspiring.  I’m finding that it’s both a blessing and a burden to be inspirational!  Knowing that others are looking at you as an example to follow puts a huge weight on your shoulders to not disappoint.  I’ve never been ok letting others down so being called an inspiration has given me a new level of accountability.  I have to keep pushing to succeed so that others will know that bringing your dreams to fruition is always possible.  Never give up!

So in three weeks, we’re starting our funding campaign for our feature film, set to begin shooting in February/March.  A lot of people have told me that this is impossible because I’m doing it without studio money but I know it’s not.  I could not be more excited about the strides that we’re making and the feedback I’m getting on the work I’ve put into it.  I can’t wait to not only star in this film that I, of course with the help of my team, have made but just to know that I CAN MAKE A FILM.  New things are happening in Hollywood and more people than ever are making their own material without the studios.  Believe me, it’s a lot of hard work but it’s also so much more freeing to know that you are in control of the decisions being made.  I am in control of my own career and I don’t need anyone else’s permission to do it!

Well, I think I’ve gone on long enough for today.  Keep an eye out for the campaign starting October 21 on Indiegogo for Beachwood Drive.  I’ll be sharing more with you guys about the pre, production and post processes but for now keep imagining!  Imagine anything and everything you can!  Then let your imagination guide you as you follow your dreams, even if you’re following them alone!

Love love love,
Kimberly
