Matthias Mair: Actor and author in London, England.

Hi, I am Matthias from the north of italy and this is for the dreamers out there.

I find it really hard to connect with people and it is not easy to meet the right ones to help me on my project.

In about some weeks I will be in England. I don't even know how I could introduce my project the right way, so let's start with the goal first: I want to make a very emotional and inspiring documentary on the topic persuing your dream no matter how hard it is or how hard it gets. Against all odds, taking the risk and just do it. The documentary is about me, a guy who follows his dreams, a weirdo, full of fears and doubts and not at the best of his health.

My story is quite a heavy one and I have no expierience in sailing and no expierience in shooting a movie. These are just some of the aspects that give my project the big potential it has.

I have this tremendous drive to go out and strive for it, to give my all and to go all in. And I am willing to take the risk, because I know it's gonna be worth it.

I have already written kind of the whole script and I know if shot and edited well it should be the stuff you want to see in cinema, the stuff that makes you cry (like me in the documentary) and goes viral and gets a lot of attention and probably some film awards too.

I know it is a huge project and done wrong I could die and I know I have to learn some basics in sailing a boat and in recording. But the most important thing is I have to meet the right people who see the potential. And no matter if I meet the right ones or not, I will do it anyhow because I am comitted to it...

This year I will set up a crowdfunding campaign. In England I will look for sponsors, journalists and magazines. The documentary is going to be in english, therefore I wanna learn to speak it fluently and more brit like. To the end of the year I will organize a boat and hopefully film equipment and some drones. Next year I will sail from England over the Canaries to Barbados while shooting my trip and telling my story to the world.

Some great sailing documentaries are Between Home, Maiden Trip, Chasing Bubbles (which is for free on YouTube) and Red Dot on the Ocean.

My one will be the next one regardless of if I'll make it or die trying.

I am on Stage32 to get connected to the film business and to network in order to meet the right ones for my project. Please let me know if I am on the right platform :-)

Hi Matthias. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 1,000,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.
