Reflecting on the premiere of my latest movie, I can't help but feel overwhelmed. The reviews have been mixed, and while many praised the originality and depth, others were relentless, pointing out every flaw as if it were a reflection of my worth as a director. I constantly tell myself that not everyone can understand art, trying to convince myself more than others. The truth is that each movie is a piece of my soul, vulnerable to the world's interpretation and criticism. Despite the challenges, I will continue looking forward, true to my vision and open to learning from each experience. This journey is not just about making films; it's about expressing truths that resonate.

I'll be right with you...
