Lets talk the film industry, living and working in LA, and all the alcohol you have to drink to fit in.

Fantastic Mr. Fox
"Fantastic Mr. Fox" is something I know nothing about, other than it's stop animation, based on a book, and is coming out Thanksgiving. It is directed by Wes Anderson and has one of the best cast lineups Ive seen since "Nine" (not "9"). It does look pretty hilarious.
Its a hard decision, what you want to do with your life. What is it that you want to spend every waking hour, until youre sixty-ish, eating/breathing/and sleeping. Sometimes it takes people years to figure out what they want to do. As for me, I always knew film was going to be the path. But which aspect I wanted to work began to erase the lines of what I thought my oh so clear future would be.
When I began being known for my work as a writer, things finally started coming together. Its not what I dreamed of doing, but what I'm good at.
During the fall of 2008, I finally moved to LA. Here, I have met some of my biggest idols, and created some new ones.
One thing to be said about this industry is that it is absolutely insane. And I mean it all: the hours, the boss's requests, and of course, the in-front-of-the-camera presences. But its also that aspect I love. I want to continue carving a place into the film industry, and hope that discussing my path might be a helpful learning tool for others with big dreams.
