You gotta choose a creative project to sink your teeth into. And then when you do, you need to start making choices - what sentence to write, what rhyme to cut. And you might add the wrong thing and cut out the part that was great.
I have scripts that I've written, that are just not great. But I had to put it out there and then went back and did a whole rewrite, and then it got a little bit better, and then did a whole rewrite. But I couldn't have gotten to the fifth rewrite, that's pretty good, unless I did the first draft that was bad.

ABOUT ME
I started my career as an accidental filmmaker. I wrote a “practice script,” hoping one day I could write one that I could sell or produce. That script became my first film, “Senses of Place,” which went on to win awards on the film festival circuit and was distributed by FilmBuff.
I then moved to Hollywood where I eventually made nine feature films, eight documentaries, and worked with actors Carrie-Anne Moss, Melora Hardin , Zac Efron, Edi Gathegi and Angela Sarafyan in this year's Caged, and many more. I've worked with producers Kevin Costner, Bill Borden – Academy Award winner Francis Ford Coppola and Oscar-nominated director Mike Johnson. I have even shared the screen with Josh Brolin, Neil Patrick Harris, Kane Hodder, Naveen Andrews, and many more.
Last year, I released the documentary film, “Hardball: The Girls of Summer.” Currently, I live between California and East Africa, writing and developing new projects, while consulting on film and TV projects.
