In this talk, Nick will share his journey from a child fascinated by stories to a screenwriter and finally a director. He will explore the theme of "Unmoor", discussing how he overcame mental barriers and industry challenges to pursue his passion. His story encourages us to reflect: When faced with uncertainty, are we willing to take the leap and embrace new beginnings? Should we regret doing something rather than regret never trying? His journey is a testament to the courage of letting go and setting sail toward our dreams.
