For as long as I can remember, the dream of becoming a filmmaker has been a guiding star in my life. However, being visually impaired presents unique challenges, particularly when it comes to locating to a state that breathes that industry and handling equipment. In 2022, this obstacle led me to explore the 3D realm, and serendipitously, YouTube’s algorithm introduced me to the cinematic capabilities of Unreal Engine.
Herein lies the contradiction: Unreal Engine is primarily known for game development. Yet, it has opened up a world of possibilities for me. Alongside my Space Opera film project, I find myself venturing into game development, a field I’ve been equally passionate about. Both the film and gaming industries are notorious for their lengthy development and production timelines. To me, this is not a deterrent but an exciting challenge.
Embarking on this dual journey will undoubtedly be demanding, but my motivation transcends mere success. It’s about the thrill of creation, the joy of bringing visions to life that have been dormant for far too long. After years on the sidelines, I am fully committed to this endeavor, and ready for the long haul. It’s more than a project; it’s a testament to the belief that limitations are merely stepping stones to greater creativity.
