I'm 40 and finally making what I enjoy doing entertaining for myself again after a few years of financial and familial hardships. For a while it was a mundane process in the area but over time I've matured in what I am capable of. I work pharmacy retail to pay the bills but with rising costs of everything, I've had to turn town better paying side jobs to stick with old reliable. Any form of grant money will help take a week off of the irregular hours of a job and make sure I have the supplies I need to go forth and document performances and shows. Like everything, none of us are getting any younger. What we do now could be it for most people and sometimes a camera lens is a witness with proof it was done.
