| 0:00.0 | a little backstory. |
| 0:02.2 | It was the summer of 2018 when I realized once again I needed to reinvent myself. |
| 0:07.6 | Not just a slight pivot, but a complete re-evaluation of how I communicated my skill set |
| 0:12.2 | to the world. For years I had labeled myself as a filmmaker |
