When I set out to make My Journey, I didn’t know I was making a documentary. I was trying to understand what had happened to me, to make sense of a transformation so profound it felt like I had died and been reborn. The camera became my witness, my way of processing something I couldn’t explain.

For years, I lived what I believed was the perfect life. I built a successful business, gained respect, followed the path I thought I was supposed to follow. But inside, something didn’t align. I was playing a role so well that I had convinced even myself.

The breakdown came slowly, then all at once. Small cracks turned into something I could no longer ignore. Questions I had avoided began to surface. Who am I beneath all of this? What is real, and what is something I’ve been holding onto?

What followed wasn’t something I planned. The film became the process itself.

Through a series of intense and transformative experiences, I began to see the layers I had built around myself. The identity, the success, the image, all revealed themselves as constructs. And one by one, they began to fall.

This film is not about plant medicine or rituals. Those are part of the journey, but not the destination. At its core, this is a film about identity, about the illusions we live under, and what happens when they begin to dissolve.

Visually, I wanted the film to reflect that shift. The early moments are more rigid, controlled, structured. As the journey unfolds, the image becomes more fluid, more natural. Light begins to replace shadow. The visual language transforms alongside the internal experience.

I chose to structure parts of the film in parallel to The Matrix, because that’s what it felt like, seeing through something I once believed was real. But this is not fiction. This is something many people experience in different ways. We all live within systems of belief, identity, and conditioning.

What I hope this film leaves the audience with is not answers, but awareness. Not a conclusion, but a question.

Because at the end of it all, everything comes back to this:

Who are you?

This film is my way of exploring that question, not as an idea, but as something lived.
