Today is the big day. And you get to witness a miracle.
My precious daughter, Rebecca Hope, is graduating from high school.
If you know me, you know how much this moment means.
You know the years Iâve spent trying to get here.
The prayers. The setbacks. The quiet heartbreaks.
Itâs been a rollercoaster of hope, loss, and waiting.
BUT GOD.
He made a way. And now Iâm here. Thatâs miracle one.
Iâve learned that prayer alone isnât enough. You canât just hope for something and wait for it to show up. You have to move. You have to take the steps, even when theyâre painful. And God doesnât leave you in it. He walks beside you. Thatâs why the Holy Spirit is called the Comforter.
But let me say this, Heâs not the Comforter because life is easy. Heâs the Comforter because life gets uncomfortable. Youâve got to step out of your comfort zone. Youâve got to believe in what youâre called to, even when it hurts. And when that road gets hard, and believe me it will. But let me also say that youâre not abandoned. Youâre actually right where you need to be.
And when I wanted to give up, like litterally I almost did. Its been a long exhausting battle
But my wife Taylor, my heart, and my anchor, she knew how to shake that off me real quick.
She reminded me who I am. Who God is.
And I love her to death for standing beside me through every single trial.
Miracle two is Rebecca.
Today is about her. About the future. About Hope.
I always loved her middle name. I just didnât know how much I would need it. Her middle name, Hope, in Hebrew is Tikvah.
It originally meant to âlook eagerly.â âTo wait with longing.â But over time, that meaning deepened into something even stronger; âan expectation of something good.â
Thatâs what today is. Thatâs what this whole journey has been.
You can be part of this celebration and reconciliation. You can watch her graduate live, right here:

To everyone who supported me, thank you.
To everyone who believed in me, thank you.
This isnât just her moment. This is a victory for every person whoâs ever felt forgotten.
For anyone who has prayed for years. For anyone whoâs holding on by a thread.
Donât give up. God is still working. Hope still matters And miracles still happen and it all because God is still on his throne andd he wrote our stories from the ending to the beginning. Our stories never end in defeat, because we are all victors. Every new challenge you face in life is a new chapter in which you can do one of two things. Either drown in sorrow and let it overtake you or walk that challenge out knowing God sent his spirit to comfort you and walk with you throughout the trying times. Im so proud to be where im at today and im so thankful i get to witness this huge milestone for my precious daughter.

Just posted the follow-up to my viral video on why movie dialogue is so hard to hear.
This goes beyond quiet voices because movie sound is broken from top to bottom

Nobody tells you the rules on set â until you break one.
Avoid the awkward moments, the quiet blacklists, and the rookie mistakes that get people dropped after one day.
I wrote the guide I wish I had on my first shoot:

Letâs settle this
Which group of actors is the hardest to understand when it comes to dialogue?
Thank you âŞ@gee355Art⏠for this insightful poll. You got me very curious.

Just wrapped a western film as camera operator! Made some incredible connections on this one, and teamed up with the talented Quest Nation (who crushed it as 1st AC) to shoot a brand-new camera comparison between the ARRI Alexa Mini and the Sony FX3. Canât wait to show you how these two beasts stack upâstay tuned!

If youâre getting hired on a film set, hereâs how to spot and avoid potential problems before they happen.
If a production canât give clear answers about scheduling, or logistics upfront, ask for specifics in writing before accepting the job. If they dodge the question, expect things to be unorganized when you arrive.
If they plan to shoot more than five to seven pages a day without a solid plan, ask how theyâll stay on schedule. On well-run sets, five pages is typical, seven is pushing it, and anything beyond that usually means long hours and rushed work. If their answer is just âweâll make it work,â youâre walking into a TRAP or CHAOS.
If thereâs no mention of proper breaks, meals, or basic crew needs, ask about meal times and craft services before committing. Union sets follow strict meal breaks for a reason. If they downplay it, donât expect it to improve later.
If the set is constantly behind schedule with no clear leadership, donât be afraid to ask whatâs causing delays and how they plan to adjust. A well-run set problem-solves. A bad one makes excuses.
Know your rights when it comes to rest periods. A proper film set allows at least 10 to 12 hours between wrap and the next call time. If they expect you to finish late at night and be back on set early the next morning with barely any sleep, thatâs a major red flag. Pushing crew past exhaustion is not just unprofessional, itâs unsafe.
Watch out for narcissistic directors. If they overpromise, get defensive when asked about logistics, blame others for past failures, or act like you should be grateful just to be there, be careful. A good director leads with respect. If they donât, expect the set to be a mess.
At the end of the day, no job is worth being treated poorly, pushed past your limits, or risking your safety. If a set is toxic, disorganized, or unsafe, itâs okay to walk away. A professional crew takes care of its people. If they donât, they donât deserve your time.
Iâve seen all of these firsthand and Iâve learned how to spot them now before they happen. I will be soon posting a video in hopes it will help all of you guys. Practice and Create!
