Every film is a new adventure, and I always meet new cast and crew members that blow my mind.

I found my father's Super8mm film camera when I was around eight years old and started shooting with it. I had no idea what I was doing at the time, but that's really where my filmmaking began.

Most of the people I've been fortunate enough to work with all share the same passion for creativity, for ingenuity, for playing make-believe and really just having fun. It doesn't matter if we're blowing up cars, or shooting an emotional scene in a police station, deep inside we all know our imaginations are at work, and our imaginations are manifesting into reality - at least momentarily for the cameras to capture.

Screenwriting and making movies is really playing make-believe like most of us did as children.

Dreams do come true. But it will involve a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication, a lot of studying.

Several years ago, as I was transitioning from film finance to film production and writing again, someone asked me how long I would try to get back into filmmaking before I gave up? My response was "giving up" was not an option.

You have to be willing to give it your all and sacrifice to make your dreams come true.
