They said it was very real and personable and gives you a better feel of what DYW is about' That’s who I am, not only as a filmmaker but also as a person. It shows that my skill has improved significantly and demonstrated that I still have the ability to make their moment shine through on camera, leaving them feeling uplifted and able to perceive the emotion I put into my work, both inside and outside of it, if you know what I mean."
But like any journey to success, Irwin's path is not without its challenges. Despite facing adversity, he remains resilient, leaning on the support of his friends and family to navigate the highs and lows of the industry.
"The thing about filmmaking is that the lows you encounter in this industry are so common. However, as my teacher once said, the most beautiful aspect of filmmaking is that 'the best thing about this creative field, for those who have the itch to tell stories through their lens, is that you'll make mistakes. These mistakes serve as great building blocks for your filmmaking journey, allowing you to adapt and improve. Ultimately, this process will elevate your storytelling ability to levels you've never seen before because it comes from your heart and reflects your life experiences. This growth not only enhances your skills as a director but also enriches you as a human being.' Now, here I am at 21, looking back at those moments, and I realize that the lows were the reasons I aimed higher and shot for the stars. I couldn't be more grateful for this creative outlet. Among all the possibilities, I was fortunate to have this one, which changed my life in ways I never imagined possible. I feel incredibly lucky to be a part of it."
For aspiring filmmakers looking for inspiration, Irwin's story serves as a beacon of hope. His unwavering determination, coupled with his genuine compassion, sets him apart in an industry often defined by cutthroat competition.
