    I watch a ton of videos,movies, shows, anime and of course your content and my goal is to be able to do what you just did in this video… the goosebumps, that feeling you get when you watch something which is hard to put in words and describe that feeling but I felt it during this. I wanted to say congratulations and keep it up. I know I’m not the only one chasing a dream but you inspire people that you would probably never know, but just know you are.

    Hey Sam! 😁 1.5 years ago, I made the significant decision to sell everything I owned to pursue my dream of becoming a filmmaker. I've been following your work for many years, finding inspiration in each piece you share. This latest video, however, profoundly moved me; it was an emotional journey that brought me to tears for half of its duration. Thank you for the powerful reminder to cherish and not take for granted the people who join us on our journey.

    I am snipping for filmmakers like you, to keep my creative instincts alive & running, and I'm so glad I'm here.
    This really made me cry. Reading that other guys felt the same, makes me think that you've build an awesome community.
    Keep it up my brother 👊🏼
    Enjoy life and your loved ones ❤️

You're not "just" a content creator, you are not only showing and sharing your story but inspiring and expressing so many peoples stories.
    You're out there giving shape to an unforgetable journey, your life. Blessed to feel every single bit in this video like i've been part of it (in a way we all did) dispite being so far, yet so close.

    @adrianp.67 Před 3 měsíci

    Thank you for sharing your inspiring story! This comes from someone from a far away country, who discovered in his 30s that drawing, filmmaking, photography, basically creative endeavors should find a way or a form in each of our lives. Everything is relatively new for me, but I can’t imagine (anymore) a life without creativity in it! Watching your videos and your stories strengthen this belief even further! Just so you know this is an amazing film and I send all my best wishes to you and to each person that helps you get where you supposed to be, here, inspiring others! Stay creamy!

    Thank you, Sam, for sharing your journey with us. Normally, I'm a silent observer, but I thought it was time to thank you. You, Peter, Kolder... you are the reason I decided to venture into self-employment three years ago. Originally, I aimed to become a travel filmmaker, but certain circumstances led me in a different direction (real estate, commercial, etc.). Watching your film now brought tears to my eyes. I'm not even sure why, perhaps because one feels they might be missing out on all these travels. Thank you, Sam, for staying approachable all these years. I look forward to many more videos from the "master of content creation." STAY CREAMY

    Sam... I followed you with the Peter McKinnon crowd when you were around 70 or 80,000 subs. Loved the music videos, the studio tours, and this video has done it for me. It's incredible.
    In one of Peter's last videos he talked about a quote that said something like the the magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding. I'm avoiding creating. I'm avoiding just doing the
    damn thing. I'm avoiding just hitting record and inspiring people the way that you and many others have inspired me. I mean I'm almost weeping typing this because I needed some inspiration before editing some senior photos I took this week and you gave it to me. Sam Newton. Thank you from the bottom of heart and soul for this video. The feels, the emotion, the nostalgia, the soul you put into this video. I needed. The world needed. Thank you.
