My dream of filming a documentary

Two weeks ago, I arrived at the Beacon Hill office of Lorie Conway, a former WGBH producer, and documentary filmmaker, to have her shoot my 30-second MBA videos for Fast Company (thanks to an introduction by Morra Aarons-Mele of We are Women Online). We shot the video alright — and then I shared a dream of mine.

Watch what happened next.

What happens when you say your dreams out loud?

P.S.  Now I need to learn how to use Pixability so I can not only search engine optimize (SEO) this blog post, I can SEO YouTube.

    Woohoo! Good for you, Whitney!

    I have read every post on Dare to Dream, and this is the first one that choked me up.

    I got something I’ve always wanted this last year because I started saying out loud, “I want…” I feel confident that this dream materialized because I said it out loud to lots of people.

    I feel confident the same will happen with the documentary, yet another one your dreams!

    Oh, and one more thing…. I’m getting close to my new thing. Would love you to take a look at my new site http://joycems.com where I talk career reinvention and will bring others together to invite them to reinvent themselves too because they all have the power within them to do.. they may just need someone to remind them that they are incredible.

    Great post–and I love the idea of doing your posts via video. Just like many of your posts were transformed into a book, video posts could become the start of a documentary!

    Bravo! Sometimes we’re so busy cheering others on, we forget to take our own advice. Thanks for the reminder!

    Good for you Whitney! Drop me a line when you have a moment. I have another person who has the same dream as you. I’d love to see if there might be some synergy.
