Cupid didn’t miss 💘 From being the best dog mom and a spiritual shaman for those around you to an amazing travel guide and the smartest person I know - I’m so thankful we found each other and get to navigate life together. Happy anniversary ❤️

I’m clearing my calendar for 3 new monthly clients today! (i.e. I stopped taking clients to work on but now that we’re coming to the end of post production for it, I want/need to work more!)

So if you are a business owner:

✅ in need of marketing content
✅ feel like you’re not getting enough exposure
✅ or just have anxiety in what to post on socials

I can help with that. I want to help local businesses find their community and that starts with an introduction.

So here’s my re-introduction: Hi, I’m Steven - I’m a filmmaker and designer, and I love Alaska. In my free time I make movies, watch movies, hang out with my wife and dog, and play shows with my band - Now if you want to introduce yourself to me and work together - head to my website (link in bio) and fill out the form on the contact page and I’ll be in touch.

BONUS POINTS: if you are a brewery, restaurant, or travel company in Alaska…let’s definitely talk. I’ve got a million ideas for you.

P.S. if you don’t want to sign on for a monthly contract, but you need a video or some designs…hit me up anyways.

P.S.S. I also worked a long time to revamp my website - so just check it out and let me know what you think. I’m pretty proud of it.

If you know me - then you might know that I’m passionate about filmmaking, and doing what I love in the state that I love.

A while back right before we started production on - we got a bunch of filmmakers in a room together to talk about the possibility of revisiting Alaska’s film incentive credit. From that initial meeting - was born.

Alaska Filming Initiative is dedicated to “reigniting and sustaining the success of Alaska’s film industry.” You can check out the account for more information if you’re interested.

But what we need from you is, if this is something you’d like to see happen - visit alaskafilminginitiative.org and sign the letter.

I want people to make films and tell stories right here in Alaska without feeling like they have to go out of state to pursue their dreams. So help Alaska by signing the letter today.

🙏🏻❤️

Here’s something I’ve never told anybody - but coming into the new year I always get a weird sixth sense of what’s to come for the upcoming year.

Some years, I have really good feelings about the new year and usually they turn out to be relatively good, but after a tough several months in 2022 - I wasn’t feeling so great about 2023. I remember being on a walk with my wife and telling her I felt like 2023 had a huge rain cloud over it.

Because of that - I poured myself into my work - determined to make that cloud disappear and make 2023 a “good” year. But after several months of constant grinding and battling with the inevitable - my mental health caught up with me.

I fell into a really deep depression. I stopped taking clients, started saying no to good opportunities, and generally just felt stuck. This year has been one of the most intense journeys of my mental health. Because of that - I started journaling a lot more, I read books like “The Mountain is You” and “You Are Your Own”, I started therapy, and focused on what I wanted out of life.

After several months - I started seeing a silver lining. I kept telling people that I had felt like I was climbing up a dark hole for the last year and that I was just poking my head out and getting my first glimpse at what was on the other side. I compared it to seeing a sunrise for the first time in a long time.

Even though my mental health journey will always be a process, the ending of this year has felt like a dream and I’m thankful for all of you who were a part of it.

I have a real good feeling about 2024. Wishing you all the best for this new year.

But before I go and enjoy the festivities for the last day of the year, I have to thank my wonderful and magical wife - because even though we have been going through similar growing pains this year - you were still there supporting, teaching, and pushing me to go for what I want in life. Showing me the power of visualization and speaking out what I wanted instead of keeping it inside. Being beside each other as we navigate what this life holds and growing together has been a huge blessing in life. I love you and am grateful we found each other. ❤️

Only 2 days left to help us out on the crowdfunding for - if we can get 25 people to donate $25 today that would be a huge leg up! We can do this!!!!!!!! 🙏🏻❤️
