Hey there! My name is Nick Bondarev. Im a photographer and filmmaker based in the PNW.

Since my earliest days, I have been enchanted by the power of stories. As a king of my own imagination, I devoured books, dreamed of grand adventures, and explored uncharted lands in my mind. These tales have shaped my vision, leading me on an exciting journey into the world of documentary filmmaking.

Justin's recovery story and Justin himself have been a tremendous source of inspiration for me, as well as for everyone who has watched this film. We released it a year ago, but due to significant changes in my personal life, I temporarily veered away from my dream path, and unfortunately, this project never reached its intended audience.

Being a creative in today's society and economy isn't easy. The challenges and obstacles are immense, and only those on a similar path can truly understand. Just today, I found myself contemplating my life, and for some reason, I revisited this film. It moved me to tears. But most importantly my own work inspired me to lift my butt and take an acton.

I believe this story is incredibly powerful and has the potential to make a difference in many lives. That's why I'm reaching out to you. I want more people to experience this film, and I'm asking for your support to help us submit it to film festivals and give this inspiring story the chance it deserves to be heard. Your contribution will also help me personally regain the strength to continue my journey as a documentary filmmaker.

Cheers, Nick
