In this episode of I'm Not Supposed To Be Here, I’m sitting down with my good friend Derek, a documentary filmmaker who’s mastered the delicate balance of telling powerful, real-life stories. From capturing the experiences of refugees to navigating the ethics of storytelling, Derek shares the challenges and responsibilities that come with bringing other people’s stories to the screen.

We dive into what it means to handle sensitive topics with care, the pressures of getting it right, and the courage it takes to push past fear—both in filmmaking and in life. Derek’s journey is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the most meaningful stories are the ones that push us out of our comfort zones.

Whether you’re passionate about storytelling or just looking for a dose of inspiration to face your own fears, this episode has something for you. Tune in for a conversation that’s as thought-provoking as it is inspiring.
