    This video is timely for me.
    While I do have another doc I'm working on (I was actually on the AOD call last week getting some advice which I'm grateful for), I've wanted for over a year now to do a doc on myself.
    4 years I was a victim of gun violence. It was mistaken identity when I was dropping a friend off from church. 14 shots hit my car. 10 hit me. I nearly died and for over 2 years I wondered whether I'd ever be able to pick up a camera again.
    I've wanted to share my story as a doc myself but between health issues and going back to those memories it has been difficult.
    However every time I share my story with someone I always notice how much people pay attention and then are encouraged by it.
    This video is motivating me to get back on getting this story told. I think I could help a lot of people who are struggling to overcome the physical, mental and emotional challenges that come with surviving trauma related to gun violence.

      I've started but have also been juggling full-time work as a video producer and working part-time as a media team lead at my church. Which I proudced 3 short docs for at the beginning of this year.
      I want to get my story done. It's just been hard to find the time to sit down and do it all everything else going on.

    I premiered a self-documentary back in January on my journey battling COVID, and even while I made the effort to create an honest hero's journey out of my situation there is still so much I'd change if I were to remake it today (fingers crossed I won't have COVID again haha).

    Wow, Wow..!!! Just amazing brother. I related to this topic so much from my 1st documentary when I joined AOD. I did my fist Documentary on myself and had to learn quickly to be vulnerable and share my flaws as I struggled with a learning disability and had to interview my mom and my wife and then put myself in the documentary. Would love to connect with Troy and share my story with him. Love the AOD community and what it’s doing for many of our filmmaking careers.
