→ APPLY TO THE A(U)DHD FILMMAKER’S SANDBOX PROGRAM
Maybe as a kid, they called you an "old soul"—so mature for your age. But really, you were a baby in a blazer, just trying to keep up. And now, as an adult, you feel like two toddlers in a trench coat who never learned how to JUST BE A KID.
The whole time, you’ve been terrified that someone would find you out and call you what you are: A BIG BABY WHO DOESN’T KNOW A DAMN THING.
OK.
It’s okay. It’s really okay.
You piled on armor to fit into a world that wouldn’t let you be soft. You muzzled yourself in environments that wouldn’t let you be loud. You played the part. You built structures around yourself to make it in a world that demanded you be hard, quiet, efficient.
These were smart and fitting at the time–they helped you survive, and thank god you did.
But now??? They’re trapping your heart. Keeping you at an arm's length from really experiencing life in full color.
Too many old souls never got to be kids.
Let’s be kids. 😭😭😭
WELCOME TO THE SANDBOX.
Creative Commitment + Direction isn’t about forcing productivity or punishing yourself into GETTING SHIT DONE.
It’s not about “fixing” procrastination. Procrastination hinges on the belief that there is urgency to achieve and complete. Who sets those expectations? NOT YOU, I’M GUESSING.
Let’s build a neuro-affirming structure you can actually breathe and create in.
A sandbox.
The Sandbox is a structured serendipity container where we work on blue so you can yellow to your heart’s content.
Blue is your structure:
🟦 Money – A relationship, not a shame cycle.
🟦 Time – Yours to shape, not to be ruled by.
🟦 Space – Physical, psychic, and mental room made to support you.
🟦 Support – Designed for how you best receive it.
Yellow is where you play:
🟡 Creative Vision – For yourself, your future child, and/or the world you want to live in
🟡 Creative Process – How you make what you make and what you need to make it
🟡 Idea Partnerships – These aren’t goals with tasks to be checked off a list— they are active ideas that collaborate with your soul as your body moves to meet them 🥲
The Sandbox is about building a relational, consent-based creative structure that prioritizes what makes you feel most alive. You are an active partner and participant in deciding how you want your creative structure to grow.
We approach money, time, space, and support from a place of:
✨ How do you want to feel?
✨ How do you want to relate to these foundational aspects of your life?
✨ What do you need to commit to your creative freedom?
How It Works: Freedom + Structure
The Sandbox is designed around choice-based learning—you are the autonomous decision-maker in your creative process. I hold the space, you hold the power. This is your process, at your pace. I support you as we build the systems that support your life and art.
I'm Not Here To:
- “Hold you accountable” to some rigid structure you’ll eventually rebel against
- Or tell you to fix your mindset or reframe your perspective lol.
Your mindset is fine, your perspective is fine.
You are not an optimized productivity machine.
You are a living person with challenges, limits, history, depth, dreams, and desires.
We Are Here To:
- Accept where you are
- Accept who you are
- Support your needs AS YOU ARE.
Because you’re beautiful ugh

Why This? Why Now?
You’ve done the work.
Your fear hasn’t kept you from facing the darkness and learning its language. You let it teach you and show you where your wounds are. You’ve met your demons and walked through hell for too many fucking years. You’ve slowed down and waded through the shit.
And you knowwwwww life is not only for healing. It’s for living.
L-i-v-i-n-g.
And you just want to have funnnn. But, haha. How?
We find out 😏
In the sandbox 🥹
PLAY IS PROTEST
And for that part of you that needs to know that you’re doing the smart and right thing, yes this is serious work. 🧐
Play is a hybrid ventral and sympathetic nervous system state. It’s a state of action while feeling at home in your body. The benefits of this are sustained movement, serendipitous solution finding, and genuine connection and enjoyment of the process.
AND, IN THIS TIME OF WTF ARE WORLD LEADERS DOING??? We need the capacity to sustainably act from our hearts and a space of deep connection to life itself.
Taking the time to genuinely understand and support your creative process is an act of resistance and protest. In giving ourselves what we need to access our heart-sourced power, we dissolve the oppressive constructions of white supremacy and patriarchy within our internal systems AND THEN we are much better equipped to not recreate these same oppressive structures in our work and service with others.
So, committing to your creativity isn’t some cutesy tootsy fling. Playing and creating in your sandbox literally makes the world a better place. Ugghuuhhuhuhhhhhhh
😮💨😮💨
LET’S PLAYYYYYYYYYY ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

WHY CREATIVE COMMITMENT + DIRECTION?
I have held so many positions, had so many jobs, and been so many people to so many people.
Creative Commitment + Direction is a skill, a role that fits. A job I can do. Something I built for myself because committing to my creativity is the most important thing I’ve ever done.
Creativity is a tool of self-connection and a bridge to the world outside my own. Without it, I feel lost and very swept up in other worlds. I feel away from home.
Ungrounded, unsupported, unseen. Because I can’t see me. There’s no one there to connect to because I’m lost in someone else’s world.
My creative practice and process take me home over and over again. When I don’t communicate this need or if I prioritize others above it, I damage relationships and myself. I know this now, beyond theory and into embodied trust. It does not need to be changed. It’s not wrong. It’s just who I am.
I do believe all people are creative, as in can create moments, connections, etc — choose your medium.
But the degree to which an autonomous creative process is needed varies. One where you have control over when to try and fail or learn on your own and when to ask for support.
For myself, learning I’m autistic and ADHD makes a self-led art practice a necessary part of a healthy life. It’s part of my complete breakfast.
I’m literally depleted and feel empty without it. It’s so deeply connective and necessary that I have had to make hard decisions and carve out time and space for myself to have it.
I’ve had to commit to my creativity above all else because it keeps me alive and I want to live this life. Fully. I want to be present for it. I want to feel it in my body.
Art is an accommodation- it enables me to live in this world as myself. An active and abundant creative practice melts the mask, keeps me soft. When I prioritize it, I don’t want to be anyone else.
