Hi!

My name's Brian Fritz - I'm a 30 year-old aspiring cinematographer working as an Uber/Lyft driver in Long Beach, but currently stuck living in my dad's 10'x5' dining space (the open corner between the kitchen and living room). How I wound up here, and why I've been struggling as much as I have, truly is an interesting but long story. I could literally write a 2 or 3 part autobiography of my crazy and unbelievable life, but I don't have time to do that right now, especially when I'm busy trying to motivate myself to get out and drive everyday, so that I can (hopefully) get out of debt and save for an old used RV - Something that I can finally call "home",  and actually be able to have personal privacy in, so that I can function like an adult and not go insane. Many people don't understand how miserable I've been, or how hard I struggle with depression, just to wake up and do stuff. Living in a kitchen with zero personal privacy has been slowly eroding on my sanity, and making me incredibly depressed, anxious, and frustrated. I actually opt to sleep in my car for days at a time, just because I hate living in the kitchen that much, and because it also saves gas. The car actually provides me with more personal privacy than the flimsy cardboard wall surrounding my bed, 5 feet away from the kitchen sink, however I never truly have 100% uninterrupted and reliable privacy. I can't even sleep soundly for a complete session, without being interrupted/woken up by someone - Whether it's family waking me up to move the car so they can go to work, or some random stranger or security guard tapping on my car window, asking me if I'm okay, or for change, or for a ride, or that I need to get the fuck off the property. I'm so sick and frustrated with my life. I constantly feel on edge, like I'm going to explode and cuss out/beat up/murder the next person who wakes me up. I just want to be happy. I just want to be okay. I've struggled a lot in my life, been ripped off for $8,000 in owed wages from two different bankrupt restaurant jobs combined, was emotionally abused by my mother, struggled with the shitty job market for years, lost an apartment and got an eviction on my record, lost my mom to cancer in 2014, had a job move 30 miles away while I had a 20+ year-old car that was falling apart (all events in no particular order). Lots of people are quick to talk - Quick to criticize, quick to spew self-help advice, quick to tell me I need mental help/therapy, etc. What I need is a damn place to live, where I have my own door to shut behind me, where I won't be constantly woken up. A place where I can come home to, relax, work on projects, film YouTube videos, bring girls over to, etc. The list goes on and on. Stuff many people take for granted and don't even consider - Things that are HUGE to me. I've been trying to save for the RV myself, but honestly I just get so damned depressed, that it's hard to focus and get out there and drive. When I finally do get myself up and moving, I wind up pushing myself so hard, that I end up pulling over and into the nearest open parking spot to sleep, which has lead to a backload of unpaid parking tickets with outstanding overdue balances. I've also overdrawn and lost two bank accounts this past year alone, and my credit score is complete and utter shit. My life has been one giant trainwreck, and no matter how much I fight and struggle my way out of it, something always seems to be keeping me down. It's so frustrating beyond what many people can comprehend. I've thought about killing myself, and death in general, more often that I'm comfotable with, or would like to admit. People just don't seem to get it. All my life problems are supposedly so easy to fix, according to all these self-proclaimed/appointed experts on my life (several of which have never even met me in person, or understand my entire situation). It amazes me how insensitive and judgemental people can be towards others. I'd like to believe that there is still good in the world, and that I still have a place in it. I've been producing YouTube videos out of my dad's kitchen for years (on a very limited basis, due to the lack of privacy) and have a strong passion for cinematography. I'm already making a residual ad revenue income, and have a whole planned sci-fi/adventure show, centered around the RV, based on Star Trek called "Road Trek: Beyond the Frontier" - Which involves a time/dimension jumping RV. There's so much that I'm capable of doing - So much potential... but I can't do a damned thing while I'm stuck living in a kitchen. I need to get out of this mess, so that I can focus on my goals and passions in life, and be able to enjoy myself and be happy. I have so much to contribute to the world and society through my filmmaking/cinematography. I just need my own space to be able to live and function. Will you help me?


Thank you for taking the time to read.
