MY YEAR 2022: My Life as a Full-Time Travel Filmmaker

[@artlist_io]

So many feelings right now, gosh. We're huge fans, you already know that, but this is by far the most beautiful, humble, and heartwarming video yet. We're humbled and incredibly honored to be a part of your journey Sam. This may sound cliche, but you're a true inspiration. Your words are genuinely powerful and important and speak to all of us, creators or not. Thank you, we all really needed to hear this, especially coming from you. Here's to many more years of living a good story, touching lives and making an impact, no matter how big or small.

LIVE A GOOD STORY! Wow. As a newbie to your channel, I am super blown away at what you’ve done, who you are, how you live your story, and how you share and honor others’ stories (especially Josh’s). So, from someone who has been alive just a touch longer, lol, thank you for inspiring and for being vulnerable and real. No matter how young or not-so-young we are, we can inspire and be inspired by others, even without always realizing it. Thank you, man… I needed your stories today!!

[@debmalyadas6562]

Live a good story. And you know what bro you've just innspired me to follow my passion full time. Will meet you one day I promise

[@TyeMorrisVlog]

I’m not crying, you’re crying!!! Seriously though, I started watching you when you made the Peter McKinnon video and you’ve come so far since then. Thanks for helping light the way through a sometimes chaotic and confusing world. To paraphrase the great Anthony Bourdain, there’s still great art to be made in the world; I’m grateful you’re so supportive of others who feel the pull to make that art. Here’s to another year! Live a good story!

[@SamNewton]

Thank you so much for this

[@FDSedanoArts]

Today i was thinking of quiting my journey and just do what i keep being told, get a 9 to 5 and stop dreaming about something else in life. watching this video just made me feel like i shouldnt give up on my dream thank you so much for your words and sharing your life, please keep inspiring. "Live A Good Story"

[@PhillipVu]

I started making videos because of these EOY recaps. I'm sure many have said the same. Thanks for sharing your story and Josh's

[@annesophie1471]

"Live a good Story" Wow, you just gave me so much hope and trust in my own abilities and dreams whilst making me cry my eyes out. Thank you, you really touched me with this video.

[@KOREJK]

We needed this At least I did. You’re always so damn pure it’s impossible to not fall in love with your stories. Live a good story. And thank you

[@SamNewton]

My brother! I always appreciate your support, hopefully I can make it out to Italy soon

[@santiagotpoletti]

Hello Sam! You appeared to me on the youtube fyp and I eternally grateful for that. I am from Argentina and from a very young age I loved creating content. What I liked was those deep thoughts that I had with myself when creating something, accompanied by music. For a moment I lost those inspirations but little by little I am recovering it. thanks for this video! Live a Good Story.

[@Matvisualss]

Damn, you made me cry again. I started from zero many years ago, many times I thought to give up, but in the last year I only find inspiration in your videos, in your stories. I hope that one day I'll be able to tell my own one. Thank you Sam, Live a Good Story.

[@SamNewton]

Keep going man, that's why we create

[@Matvisualss]

Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@DaveMani]

Amazing!

[@WayneNation]

“Live a good story” - thank you for the videos you create, the ideas you present and the feelings you invoke. A true inspiration. In a time of Instagram filters and fake lives it’s truly beautiful to see someone be so pure and share their story as raw and honest as you do.

[@stories_de_enigma]

Crying throughout the video, because I see you living the life that I want to live, to create heartfelt content, travel, make stories and films and above all, inspire people.

[@Mcgeee]

Love this dude. Seriously some of your best work yet. Didn't get to meet Josh in person but he seemed like an incredible person.

[@SamNewton]

Appreciate you man!! I'm

[@ClubSkill]

"Live a good story", that Josh's statement inspired us a lot, thank you for inspiring us. We missed you a lot man❤

[@TiloTurian]

That one hit to the heart. Great work, Sam! Live a good story!

[@SamNewton]

Appreciate you!

[@thereinventionofericleeburch]

There are a lot of folks out there whose work I truly admire. However, it seems like its yours Sam, that always tugs on the heartstrings. More than anything, the videos you share inspire me (as they do the countless others who subscribe to your channel). Its a beautiful thing! "Live a Good Story!"

[@bartekmalinowski]

I've been doubting whether my story matters soooo much lately. Wondering who was even gonna care, telling myself what I create is not valuable. I let some bad people get in my head. You've got no idea how much I needed this. Seriously. If you're wondering how many people YOUR story inspired, well, you can 100% add me to the list. Thank you so much. Live a great story!

[@GregHall66]

I have always told my three sons to go explore what’s out there and to do what makes them happy. I just found your channel today and only after two videos, you have made an impact on me. No matter where you are in life, it always the right time to Live A Good Story.

[@jordanstewartnz]

This brought me to tears because I'm one of the many people who did exactly what you're advocating not to do! I gave in to thinking that my story wasn't worth sharing. I wasn't even told by others, though. I told myself that. When I should have been my own biggest cheerleader, I instead became that person who didn't believe in the things I was creating, or even the process of creating more to get improve my filmmaking. I let myself down when my friends and family believed in me. I think I cried because if I hadn't given in to my self-induced self-doubt, I would be somewhere completely different in life right now, and I can't help but feel that the train has left the station and I've missed years of practice and progress. This video is really getting me to think, though, and I really want to get back into the deep end. Wish me luck! Live a good story.

[@DerekBodily]

Live A Good Story. There's really nothing better we can do with our lives. Well done. Josh would be proud.

[@BigB3ar]

I came across this video by chance and had to take a moment to take it all in. I didnt come on KZbin today to cry, but I really was holding back tears. Thank you for sharing this message. I am someone who wants to be a better filmmaker and live a meaningful life of giving back to others. I have wanted to give up on filmmaking so many times but my love for it all has kept me going. This video has helped me to solidify my thoughts of not giving up on my dreams and passion. Thank you for this message it's what I needed to hear! Thank you! LIVE A GOOD STORY!!!

Hi Sam. I came across this video on Instagram a bit ago, and followed it here to find your incredible work. Beautiful storytelling and footage, you've inspired me to learn more about video (I'm a still photographer in Philadelphia but know almost nothing about video). :). I'm terribly sorry about your friend, whose spirit obviously lives on in your work. I'll happily donate to his foundation - and bravo on keeping his name and work alive. Best to you in all your endeavors! Will be following along. Live a good story.

[@SubedMedia]

You made me cry... and smile at the same time - thank you! I only saw a couple of videos of Josh but I hit me so hard after I saw the video of him, I miss him even I never really got in touch with him. Your videos mean a lot to me. I've learned so many things about camera, social media and content creation. But this was the best lesson so far. To inspire people doing the stuff they dream of is hard, but you made it. I'm looking forward to grabbing my camera for the next trip or even for the next weekend and do what I love - filming. #liveagoodstory

Sam, I just stubbled across your channel and I have to say I am inspired. For many years iv filmed off of a iphone to make videos of my own consumptions and some posted. I have always wanted a quality camera because I truly believe that's my calling, to make quality videos for others to enjoy. I recently acquired a canon M50 and plan to use it full swing. Your videos definitely have value to me and I plan to use them as a road map. Now having a dji mavic and a camera I have no excuses not to do it! Thank you and stay blessed.

Really great down to earth recap. Made me think about my planning when my niece and her boyfriend come to Oregon to visit. I don't just want to show them around, I want them to have an experience. My wife is show and tell and as a photography I embrace the story and memory.... Loved the video and look forward to watching more of your work.

Oh Sam, what are u doing my man. I’m so lost for words, again. I’ve got tears all over, of joy and gratitude. I can’t thank you enough for doing what you do, and sharing it with us. I honestly can’t think of a better storyteller then you. Reading all the comments, I think I speak for us all when I say that you bring out so much emotions, inspiration and motivation. And that is what a true storyteller does. You saying that you are not the best filmmaker? Well, you are the best storyteller. And therefor, at least for me, one of the best filmmakers there is. So I cannot express my gratitude enough for you doing what you do. And I hope everyone around you will keep saying that, over and over again. Cause you deserve it, just as much as Josh. So thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏻❤ You are one of the bigger reasons why I am going to “live a good story”!
