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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
