My short film was rejected at a local film festival today. I feel like no matter what I do it's never enough. To be honest I feel like I'm such a failure at film-making even though I put my heart and soul into it. I guess I just wanted to win just one time in my life, and it seems that my best just isn't enough. I think this is the lowest point in my life so far, after being rejected from the film festival, I also learnt that my Grandma is dying back home in Vietnam. I feel like I failed her in a way, she'll never get to see me achieve my dreams of becoming a successful film director. The short film is called I AM IMRAN. It is a documentary about my dear friend Imran, he suffered from Goldenhar Syndrome ever since he was born, a condition that left half of his face paralyzed. It's a story that is worth telling and I'll support it til the end. I wanted to just give up on my dreams and settle for something ordinary. But then I remembered that Gaga too had her dark days when she started out, so did everyone else who ever walked the Oscar red carpet. One must experienced failure and desperation before they get to live the glory, It's easy to give up and walk away from it all. I thought about it many times before, but that glimmer of hope is still there and I'll hold onto it and greet the new dawn. I'll premiere the film on LM.com in the near future since you guys and Gaga have shown my love and supports from the very beginning. This is a place where I can share my passion and creativity, thank you Gaga for creating this site. #filmsubmissions #mothermonster #Gaga #filmsubmissions
