Thank you for the shoutout!

It was a wild experience to bring our first project to Hollywood.

On May 28, 2023, after a long and exhausting shift, I was riding my motorcycle home when tragedy struck. A drunk driver rear-ended me on the 495 highway, and before I knew it, I was sent flying into the woods.
The driver didn't stop; instead, he crashed half a mile away, clocked by the officer at over 120 mph.
The next day, May 29, 2023, I woke up in the depths of those woods, unable to stand. I had to crawl toward the distant lights, desperate to be found. It seemed like an eternity before the paramedics located me, as I had wandered so far into the trees.
I was rushed to the hospital with extensive injuries-half of my body was broken, my heart was damaged, my lungs punctured, and both my pancreas and spleen were permanently harmed. My beloved motorcycle was discovered hanging from a tree, a haunting reminder of that fateful day.
I often reflect on how I survived. I truly believe I have been given another chance at life, and I vow not to take it for granted. So today, I celebrate my rebirth.
Happy reborn day to me!

When your wife tricks you to go to a classic concert.

When an author is too petty.

From writing the stories to being apart of the movies.
