THE BIRTH OF "FINDING HOME"

After my time in that church kitchen, I was haunted by the faces I'd seen and the stories I'd heard. I knew I couldn't just go back to my life and pretend everything was okay. I had to do something, but what?

The idea hit me like a bolt of lightning: a video documentary. It was the perfect medium to capture the raw emotions and harsh realities of homelessness. But I wanted to go beyond interviews and statistics. I wanted to truly understand what it was like to be homeless, to walk in their shoes, to feel their pain.

That's when the crazy idea came to me: I would make myself homeless. I'd live on the streets, panhandle, sleep in shelters, the whole nine yards. It would be the ultimate immersive experience, a way to capture the true essence of homelessness on film.

At first, the thrill of the challenge outweighed my fear. I started planning, researching survival tips, and making arrangements to put my life on hold. But as the date approached, the reality of what I was about to do sank in. Anxiety gnawed at me, and doubt crept into my mind.

What if I couldn't handle it? What if I got hurt? What if I lost myself in the process? As days turned into weeks, my resolve began to crumble. The constant struggle, the loneliness, and the hopelessness started to wear me down. I questioned my decision, my sanity, and my purpose. I wanted to give up, to go back to my warm bed and hot showers.

But I knew I couldn't. I had made a promise to myself, to the people I'd met in the kitchen, to tell their stories. So I pushed on, through the tears, the setbacks, and the overwhelming urge to quit.


It was during those darkest moments that I truly understood what the homeless go through every single day. The constant battle against despair, the feeling of being trapped in a never-ending cycle of poverty and hardship. This is the story I needed to tell.

This is the story of "Finding Home," a docuseries about the struggles, the resilience, and the unwavering spirit of those who call the streets their home. It's a story about facing your demons, pushing past your limits, and finding hope in the darkest of places.
