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

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.

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.

Today, with computer-generated visual effects, everything is possible. So we've seen everything. If it can be imagined, it can be put on screen.

Get back up, shake the dust off and keep going. Keep going, because Hollywood is set up to make you fail.

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

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