S2 Ep10- The Truth behind the film I got to #2 on Netflix US

In this episode, I’m setting the record straight about a feature film I helped fund and produce, which went on to reach number 2 on Netflix USA and number 4 on Netflix UK.

I want to share how it really came together-not through luck, but through connections, timing, and an unshakable belief in what I was doing.

This film was born out of persistence, countless failures, and the refusal to give up when things got tough.

I put my own money and time into making it happen because I believed in it with everything I had. There were moments when it felt impossible, but I kept fighting...because if something is truly worth doing, you stick with it until it comes through.

This isn’t just a story about making a film. It’s about resilience, risk, and the power of standing by your convictions no matter how many times you fall.

If you’ve ever been on the edge of giving up, this episode is for you.
