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.

Today the challenge is not visuals, but to be able to tell a riveting emotional story, something that can reach deep down inside the audience's heart and twist it like a toy to make them laugh, cry or jump out of their seats to root for the hero.

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

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

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

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.

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.
