Justin Baldoni Instagram – Wow. Just had the craziest full circle moment. 25 years ago, I was in this exact terminal getting a chance to witness the magic of making a movie for the first time, all thanks to my dad. My dad was working on MY BEST FRIENDS WEDDING as the head of product placement (he put United Airlines in the movie and was the guy who basically started the entire branded entertainment business). He closed down this entire United terminal so they could film. He flew my sister and me in so we could experience it. I’ll never forget that moment. It was my first time seeing real movie stars in person (and I still believe that Julia Roberts winked at me). Everything that day seemed larger than life, and yet I remember feeling at home on set, like I was supposed to be there. It was a moment I realized this was a dream that I never allowed myself to have because the reality of it felt so far away. Well, it wasn’t. And I promise you that yours aren’t either. Here I am, 25 years later… flying home from visiting the set of one of the films @wayfarerstudios is producing, walking down this same tunnel in the same exact terminal, but was just stopped by a young aspiring filmmaker who dreams of one day making her own movie just like I did. Anything is possible friends. I would like to think that little Justin would be proud of where he is today, so I’m trying to let myself feel that. But more than anything, I want to thank my dad for going out of his way to make sure his little boy experienced that moment and helped spark a dream I was too scared to allow myself to have. @sambaldoni you and mom have always helped me believe that anything is possible. I wouldn’t be making movies if you didn’t pass on your love of them to me and instill in me the belief that dreams really can come true. I will thank you forever. Chicago O’hare Airport
