Your Stage : The Film Making Saga by Samuel Chambers

Entry 047

I recently attended three marketplaces to share The Timid Bunny? Two of them were a real success—the energy felt like a collective “keep going, we’re excited for this project,” which left me smiling. The third was a bit of a bust, but still worth the experience.

At one of the successful markets I met a woman who later invited me to lunch. She was genuinely impressed by how well I’m understanding my project and how I presented it. I felt proud and thankful for her interest. She had already donated once at the market and, after our lunch, contributed again—plus she’s eager to stay involved as the project grows.

Before that lunch, I also attended a networking event with people from industries that could really help move this project forward. More events are coming up—additional markets and even a film festival, which will be my first. I plan to meet new people, discover new projects, and keep building momentum.

This project keeps introducing me to inspiring people, places, and brands. Even with its ups and downs, it feels worth every bit of effort and stress. Lately I’ve felt an even stronger pull to keep building—almost like that positive side of the “sunk cost” idea: I’ve come this far, so why stop now?

There are tough days and late nights, but I keep going. I’m grateful for every bit of support, love, and even the challenges, because together they’re shaping a better future. Thank you.
