Passion or Obsession.

The desire of wanting to be a filmmaker for me is a long road of disappointments. You see, I have spent over 17 years of my life shooting independent music videos, for independent musicians;thinking one day I will shoot a music video for an artist that was make a hit record. Obviously that never happened, and year after year getting my hopes up, and working harder to make every new production better than my last; improving my quality, storyboard, equipment and techniques. The artists that I worked with were in fact very talented, and just as passionate as I was. We shared something in common, which was an unrealistic dream. The difference between them and I was, there artistic expression was done with the microphone and mine was done with the camera.
I guess I was living in some kind of fantasy world; thinking life was like a movie with a happy ending, and believed that if you work hard, and you are passionate you can achieve the impossible dream. But once you get to be my age it's no longer cute to go for these kinds of dreams. It becomes embarrassing: as if I should know better by now. So I decided not to do music videos and I decided to concentrate on just completing my movie. I have been working on this film for over a year and a half, and it may take me another year and a half to complete it, but it will be done and it will come out right. My passion has turned into obsession, and
I will not conform. I will no longer dependent on anyone's success except for mine. This time I depend on me and my ability as a writer, director, cinematographer, digital editor, sound effect engineer, and lighting specialist. I refuse to accept defeat, and I will continue to make films until the day that I die; because I accept that I am completely obsessed..
