I’m on a journey of
self-discovery. I guess I’ve been on
this journey this entire time and just didn’t realize it until recently. It’s not always clear what your mission is at
20 years old or even 30 years old. I’m
43 years old and I’m chasing down a dream that has alluded me all of my
life. I’ve been labeled “shy” since I
was a kid and that has probably held me back.
I’ve accomplished a lot. My
personal accomplishments out weight my professional accomplishments. I think the next stage of the game is
equally personal as it is professional.
If it’s not “personal” to me,
then why bother doing it. I’ve always felt a connection to movies. I guess that’s why I spent hours upon hours
in video stores looking through video tapes trying to find the perfect
movie. It’s the escapism aspect that is
the attraction. The farther a movie can
transport me away from real life, the better
the experience. I’m constantly
searching for those movies that can really captured my mind and make be believe
and inspire me to be a better person. I’ve
had the privilege to write about movies on websites like ObsessedwithFilm.com
and HorrorNews.net! It’s a rewarding experience to keep the movies
alive through review and conversation.
We all have movies that we quote from and still talk about with
passion, 10, 20, 30 years later. Who of us don’t reinvest ourselves in It’s a Wonderful Life or A Christmas Story every December 25th? My
parents turn on The Godfather 1 and 2
every single time it plays on television, and those movies just get better with
age. Those movies bring families closer
together. On October 31st
and/or the days leading up to it, John
Carpenter’s Halloween has given me
chills from childhood to adulthood. These movies are timeless and
unforgettable. I’m not going to list
every favorite movie but you get the idea,
and it’s that idea that keeps me moving forward. I’m just a fan of the cinema and I have a
deep respect for the movie making process.
Those of you who know me, know
that I wrote a script titled, “DEAD afterlife”. It’s a horror movie at its core but it’s so
much more than that to me. It’s has
heart and it’s about family and it’s about love, and it’s about following your
dreams, and it’s about one man’s journey of self-discovery. It’s tells the story that it’s never too late, even in death. I’ve invested my soul into this story and
if I never make another movie, at least I can say that I made THIS movie. It’s amazes me that the concept and the
script has gotten so much attention and admiration. This next year holds opportunity… for all of
us.
