Herecy!

You may have a hard time digesting what I'm about to say: I...am...GOD!

Ok, ok - not in a religous sense of the word. But God nonetheless.

I sit down, stare at a blank screen and create a world. An ENTIRE world. The people, the places, the plants and animals, the cars and trucks and planes. I can make it rain or I can make it sunny. Hot or cold. Optimistic or pessimistic. That's the power I hold in my hand.

I say again: I...am...GOD!

I can make you feel exaclty how I want, at any given moment. If I want you to be afraid, I have the tools to make it so. If I want you to be overcome with joy - POOF! - there it is!

But that's not the best part of what I do. The best part is being able to have a conversation with an audience. To speak freely about my thoughts and feelings, to be able to articulate that through film and have them talk back through their feelings and reactions. When I begin creating this world that may only exist for two hours, I do so with the knowledge that all the tools at my disposal will assist me in being heard.

That's why I make sure that I always have something to say.


HIP HIP LYRIC OF THE DAY:
I roll with the punches, so I survive/I bob'n'weave with my feet from side to side/I'm back, stronger than ever, surprise surprise/they tried to take me out the game, but I's alive!
