You can't stop the waves but you can learn to surf

I wanted to make movies since I was 7 years old. I thought that taking up Film in university would make that dream come true but life took me to a different direction and I now create social media content for various brands. Recently, I have been feeling an itch to get back to making films but I can't seem to find the courage to quit my day job yet. I see this opportunity as a chance to get back on that path to becoming a filmmaker while giving me a chance to explore and absorb a whole new continent and culture. What would this opportunity mean to me? It would mean the world.
