Filming a feature film often means unusual hours, and today is no exception! 🎬

Join me for a "day in the life" as we navigate a late call time and the "behind the scenes" reality of "filmmaking". This "celebrity" lifestyle isn't always glamorous, especially when it involves working through the night. Wish me luck!FOLLOW MY JOURNEY HERE:https://stan.store/gioaxibalTonight is the night before I step on set for my first feature film.I’m sharing what’s actually going through my mind the night before filming, how I’m preparing, the thoughts running through my head, and the process I’m going through to feel ready for the role.This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s just an honest look at the preparation, the nerves, and the reality of stepping into something you’ve been working toward for years.I’ve been documenting my acting journey as it unfolds, and this moment felt too important not to capture!

I posted 100 videos… and honestly I’m just getting started.I used to overthink everything! the camera, the edits, what people would think. But somewhere along the way I realized the point wasn’t to be perfect… it was to get better. This is what I’ve learned so far, what surprised me, and how I’m moving forward from hereSocials & BTS content on my SNAPCHAT!IG: https://www.instagram.com/giovanniaxibal?igsh=cW9id3BwbDNqcXdv&utm_source=qrTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@giovanniaxibal?_r=1&_t=ZT-95S0NmQIoIPSNAPCHAT: https://snapchat.com/t/As99eg1IAffiliate Links + Services:https://stan.store/gioaxibal
