This hits hard, man. I wasn't expecting the moment at 1:36 to be a tear-jerker. Growing up without parents is something I never thought would impact my life, both positively and negatively. It's something I never realized, I needed them during the times when I desperately needed a hug and a warm whisper of words assuring me of love. Congratulations on 30 years of survival and life.
The one skate clip I filmed of you was my first ever upload on RUclips 13 years ago which in turn would start up my photo/video life. Hyped to have met you and it’s been so sick seeing all these photo adventures you’ve been on over the years! Happy G day brutha 🫶🏻🤍
Love your inspiring journey, from meeting you as bubbles to becoming clean, disciplined, and very passionate w/ photography I knew you would make it far. Very proud, much love brother always! 🎉🙌🏻 💪🏻
MY brother !! thank you so much! You were a huge inspiration to me when I had barely gotten sober and thank you for working out with me and pushing me to the limit. Love ya bro!
Amazing brother! So thankful our paths crossed and I cannot wait to reconnect. Beautiful visuals and an even more beautiful story. You've got a heart of gold!
I barely know you but this short film showcased you in the most perfect way because that voice over sent me. Great details on this video and story, you did great. Keep pushing on❤
I definitely saw you lost and in pain and confused sometimes as a kid. This video only made me cry because i am happy for you and to see you now full of life and in control and HAPPY! I am so proud of you ♥️ You have such a big heart and are so passionate about everything you do It shows in your work Cheers to 30! Being sober and living life at its fullest!!
This short film really hit bro! Such a great story to be told and I am glad you made this film. Excellent work, can't wait to see what the future brings!
Bro you got me tearing up right now, just incredible. Constantly feeling inspired by everything you do! I’m turning 30 this year as well and we’re about to thrive bro, let’s get it!
Love this so much Chris!! I love seeing people make such personal films for them. Thats what really fills the creative spirit. Its awesome you have so many amazing memories. it reminds me how I need to not be so hard on myself and get out there, meet new people and just have fun. Thanks brutha!

YES CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this gem. I loved how you pieced the story together. I feel so overwhelmingly inspired after watching this it's pushing me into a writing session right now. So much love for you and your journey. Thank you for the courage and work in putting this out into the world.
Simple, beautiful, and inspiring dude! I think many of us see you as a role model. Your story is one that not only touches a lot of people, but also relates to a lot of people. I would love to talk sometime and just chat!
Hi, dear, I hope you are well. I saw that your RUclips videos are very lovely and very helpful. You have enough of the videos but your video is not getting views because there is some problem with your videos. Your SEO score is very poor (0% out of 100)and you need optimization for better results. If you update the videos then the views of the video will increase. If you want you can discuss with me. Thanks
