A few months ago, I read an ad on Facebook, that said something like, “NASA wants you to show your vision of humanity traveling to Mars in a 5 minutes short film… ‘Rogue One, A Star Wars Story’ Director, Gareth Edwards, will judge your film. http://projectmarscompetition.com
So, after reading the ad I decided that I was going to make a movie, and I did, and thanks to the most amazing group of friends and family that believed in me, we made such and amazing movie, that it WON an special award as the most inspiring film.
I was already in shock and completely overwhelmed when I got a call from NASA, yes NASA, They wanted to let me know that they were going to fly my wife and I to Washington D.C. for a special award Gala at the National Geographic Headquarters, to receive the award and meet the main judge of the competition, GARETH EDWARDS Director of Rogue One, A Star Wars Story, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine, and Ellen Stofan director of the National Air and Space Museum. Yes this actually happened.
“A lifetime of gratitude to my wife
and children for their unconditional support.
You, are the greatest adventure of my life.”
