My tombstone would someday read I died keeled over at my computer writing a screenplay or a business plan.

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

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.

For as long as I can remember, I've always had a wild imagination and always enjoyed reading and writing.

In college I wrote for the university newspaper, and I had several short stories published in small press. I think it's just been a natural progression of where to go with the imagination and not have to grow up.

I've already made several friends-for-life from the latest movies I've worked on, and I know I'll make several more in the years to come.
