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.

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

I wrote several screenplays over the years to really polish my craft and learn from my mistakes.

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.

There is truly no other business in the world like making movies. It's unique, it's extremely demanding and difficult, but it's also the most rewarding.

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

I spent several years in the film finance business, but I returned to what I loved most about the industry - actual filmmaking, producing, writing and directing.
