Last night, I had a surreal dream where Colleen Dewhurst encouraged me to seize an audition opportunity. In the dream, I almost missed out because I didn't have my reading glasses, but she reminded me not to give up before even trying. Fast forward to today, and I received a contract in my email for a project I thought was a comedy sketch—turns out, it's a commercial!
It's incredible how life can imitate dreams. This unexpected opportunity reminded me that if you don't believe in yourself, who will? Despite feeling discouraged about finding a commercial agent, I'm now gearing up to shoot a commercial tomorrow, complete with residuals outlined in the AFTRA contract. The journey to this point has been filled with ups and downs, but this experience is a testament to the power of perseverance and self-belief.
So here's my lesson from the dream and today's surprise contract: Never underestimate your own potential, and don't let self-doubt hold you back. Dreams can be prophetic, and sometimes all it takes is a leap of faith. Excited for this new adventure and grateful for the reminder to believe in myself.
