Dedicated platform launch

In January 2020, just before the COVID-19 hit the world, I came with the idea of documentary series of people who are dedicated in their pursuit to move the world towards a better place, towards the dreams we all have.

Dear all,

I remember those times when I came with idea of Dedicated. I woke up that morning, thinking of which path should I follow now after serious of events which changed many things beneath myself. In the first days and weeks the idea was just to document people who are dedicated to things, pursuit or help which goes beyond themselves. I started the journey and deep thinking about still small personal project.

Then the COVID-19 hit the world and I postponed whole thing. I could go out, take pictures of doctors, nurses, scientists or all those heroes of hidden in their natural invisibility. But I have chosen to stay safe, protect the closest ones and wait. And I waited. I believe we are heading to brighter times of humanity.

During the time I have enough space to think. And maybe more, due to events which happened to me not only globally but also personally, I got here. I am stying here, in front of you with heart full of dreams and vision. A friend of mine told me, that everything I had gone through was part of the path:

"Look at all the hardships you overcame and survived, you were able to pass because you were destined what within your capacity from the beginning."

I realised that Dedicated may become something more. Its purpose - to share stories of Dedicated ones - will always be the main mission. But those who are dedicated share their own parts, pieces of their existence in the mission they inevitably follow. And these parts of their hearts may be missing then somewhere.

So I realised that Dedicated may become one day something more - the foundation. To help the people, to help the dedicated. To help people and the ideas they are dedicated to. To help where the help is not asked, yet still needed.

Stay tuned,

Jan R.
