Finishing The Drill




 Finding Faith Deadline Hollywood







Yesterday we wrapped principal photography on a feature that I came across in April. The writing had me in the first ten pages and I began to call those that I knew who could help this vision come to fruition. Everyday since I have been working to finish the drill. Yesterday we wrapped principal photography on the feature, Finding Faith and I am so grateful. We saw it, We believed and We achieved it. Never Quit. Much Love. Brainwashed for Greatness.

Who Is Choosing You?

I remember when I was told by my father that I would be lucky if I had five true friends in life. I was young. Twelve or thirteen, I was just old enough to think I knew it all but fortunately smart enough to listen and store the information. I trusted him and though the number of friends has exceeded his experience, I understand the sentiments. My dad went straight into the armed services at 18 where I took a more fluid and exotic path. One minute here and the next I'm there and thus I met more people who were attractive in mindset, character and of course, at times, physique. Over the years I've become quite the collector of great friends but ever more importantly those friends CHOSE ME. I have worked on myself since I can remember. Always checking in and trying to be a better person than I was the day before and thus making myself a more attractive candidate for friendship. I love my friends and will do anything that I can to help them reach any goal, traverse through any sto...

When You Get Into The Red Zone

 I love football. It's hard for me not to relate everything in life to the game. I played the game from the ages 7-22. The game taught me so many valuable lessons in life. Finishing the drill and doing my job are two that stand out right now in my life. Many of us have great ideas. Some of us even start the ideas that we come up with and move the ball down the field. Then certain plays stop working or a metaphorical penalty causes set backs and you lose a little momentum. If I'm paying close attention, if I'm truly locked in, I can see that the set back is actually an opportunity. The timing was off so I need the extra plays to get better. I keep the pedal on the metal but I'm using different tactics this time around. Some players on the team may need a rest or simply need replacing. When I'm in the red zone the only thing that matters is scoring. I will not fumble the ball. The only way to win is to score points. When you get into the red zone, the only thing that ...

  11/16/2022 THE EVOLUTION OF CHARLES F. PORTER II Many words I've written were lost during the transition to this new site. I apologize to all that may have found inspiration in those words and I hope that the continuation of my story will serve as inspiration as well. For those who are unaware, in a nutshell, I have been battling cancer since my stage 4 diagnosis in 2010. I am still unaware of how long I had it while undetected. In 2011 I had a stem cell transplant and since then I've undergone numerous chemo treatments, an immunotherapy trial and in January of this year, I received a CarTcell Transplant. This too was a trial and I am happy to say that it was successful. After being on a waiting list, that was extended due to Covid, I was able to receive the transplant and get into full remission for the first time in six years.  Cancer is not who I am but it certainly has shaped me into the man I have become. Before cancer I was living a face paced life, working my way thro...
