* 19 August 2019: 1 week ago today I wrapped a movie that has changed my life in more ways than I can explain. I was able to work with the most open and beautiful group of people. I’ve gained a family whose bond is stronger than almost anything I’ve experienced.
	+ Most of all I spent 5 months creating a story that will forever live in history about my ancestors; this present moment in time, and the kids that will live after us to tell it. I have never been prouder to be Latino and work on a project like this one.
	+ This is not only MY story, but OUR story. I’m honored and beyond excited for the world to experience and live this project with us next summer. Love, Hope, Dreams, Family, and Culture.

I LOVE YA’LL!
Para Siempre,
-Ant
