Pushing Past Perfection
As a new screenwriter, I felt the pressure of getting everything “right,” but The Origin taught me that simply completing a project has its own kind of perfection. In those early days, I didn’t worry about hitting every technical mark; my focus was just getting the story out there. For anyone hesitant to start a new project, know that every step is growth, whether or not it’s polished. This project is proof that pushing past the need for perfection is how progress happens.
