What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to accomplish but haven’t yet?

We all have that one goal we’ve dreamed of achieving but, for one reason or another, haven’t quite gotten there. Maybe it’s learning a new language, traveling to a certain place, or starting a business. What’s the one thing you’ve always wanted to accomplish but just haven’t been able to yet? What’s holding you back, and what do you think it would take to finally make it happen?

Well, I want to get back into extra work in films. Unfortunately, I don't tell people about it online any more, with the exception of mentioning things I already filmed my scenes for. That's due to an idiot following me around on the Internet. 

To be honest, it's pointless being an extra anyway. If you show up and they think you're quiet, the camera isn't even on me half the time. When I was in other films with a group, they got way more close up filming than I did. So it can feel pointless. 

There's also a lot of waiting between a shoot. Then you may not be in focus in the final cut. So it can be kind of dull.

Typo. Word prediction sucks.

Maybe you can use that experience to your advantage to get into video editing particularly short films or something.
