Trying to look back and think about what in the hell just happened over the last 5 weeks. It’s been a mix of dam near every single emotion you could think of. When you sacrifice your mind, body and spirit you go numb to what you’re actually accomplishing and just move forward with hard work/determination with your trust in those around you. My values, instincts, and love were reflected and felt by everyone (at least that’s what they told me
) at every single step of the way and it’s what I’m most proud of throughout this journey; getting things done but doing them the right way. Summer camp is coming to an end but I’ve made some friends and built relationships that will go beyond this movie @jorgelendeborg @domenicklombardozzi @taylour @yungflutes @pamelynchee @mikemoh @alexamareka @realpopsmoke A big THANK YOU to all of you! Y’all showed me nothing but respect & love (the 2 things I value most) every single day and didn’t blink an eye or hesitate to extend the olive branch my way. Words can’t express how grateful I am and hope my appreciation is felt. With all this being said, I wouldn’t even be in this position if it wasn’t for @mreddiehuang who saw something in me that I didn’t even know existed. It’s an amazing and powerful feeling to have someone believe in you before you believe in yourself and consistently remind you that you’re a special person. Our entire relationship has been built on experiences, challenges and stepping out of comfort zones in order to learn and grow from each other. I legit traded you workouts for books but seriously, your willingness to pass down knowledge and empower who I was is something I can’t thank you enough for. I don’t think people will fully understand our relationship dynamic but we’ll get a chance to tell it one day 
. As your friend, I’m extremely happy for you to accomplish a lifelong dream and get to be apart of telling your story throughout all 26 days. Last, thank you to all my friends/fam for the support over the last 2 months. Life was hectic but you’re all a piece in this and helped me get this done! @sanazawa @ram268 @dr.dkeres @bdinh21 @kyletak @charbelyoussef @thatssolaven #BigMike Love! - Boogie.

IT’S A WRAP. #Boogie@mreddiehuang
I met @ototo_ttak playing ball during a rough time in 2018 where I just didnt even believe in people or relationships anymore. He came in, started cooking then working with me, literally took care of me, refused to let me be a cave man and got me out the house to make this film. We always thought you’d be telling this story with myself @focusfeatures @ram268 @bjutkiewicz @rachelcoleslaw @ellemompz @annamalize @charbelyoussef BIG MIKE and friends behind the camera but to see you come of age, take on the insanely vulnerable challenge of being an actor, without ever acting before, and rise to every single occasion for 26 days (WHILE STILL BEING ROOMMATES
) was hands down my favorite part of this journey so far. I was physically cheering for all our actors on every take because in the most difficult scenes you are basically cutting yourself open and donating your spirit to the picture. Its scary and wild but also affirming to walk someone you consider family to the waters edge on each take knowing that in many ways it is now out of your hands. You not only swam across every single time but went places I didnt know youd go. You even let Mrs Chin slap you when there wasnt coverage but seriously thank you to all the vets @domenicklombardozzi @pamelynchee @yungflutes @taylour @jorgelendeborg @mikemoh that never tripped when I didnt know how to picture up or sound speed and just yelled action before cameras were ready and trusted that despite looking like a haphazard gummy bear with a head set on there was a plan . Yall were insanely generous with your patience, wisdom, and interiors. Thank you to all our friends and family that flew to NY to support us on this journey @sanazawa @thebernardchang @dr.dkeres @kgesus @nillashakes (I cant believe im actually thanking you for something jk mitch) @simplyfarnold @wilshireblvdcowboy and @thatssolaven (U came thru big telling him to do it for THE YAY AREA even if he wouldnt do it for himself!) I think I speak for every one when I say CONGRATULATIONS TAY. You made us laugh, cry, but more than anything... believe again. Like I told your Pops, Japan owed my family something... had no idea it was you ARIGATO GOZAIMASU
