Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.

I think this quote is so fitting, not only because it's Martin Luther King, Jr day but just because of what's ahead for me personally.  I don't have to give you a history lesson about what Dr. King did but I will say that he had an imagination.  He envisioned a world to come that few others could see or ever wanted to realize as a possibility because their reality was so different and a lot less promising.

He had faith.  Faith to take a step on an unknown path because it only takes one step to begin a journey.  And without that first step, the journey can never happen.  It's inspiring.  Mostly because this year for me is a year of taking chances and stepping out towards new, unexplored paths.  I'm afraid and sure I could let that fear overtake me and rule my judgement but then where would I be?  I would be stuck in the same place that I have been and never get anywhere.  

Or I could turn that fear of failure into excitement to experience what lies ahead.  You don't fail when you fall down, you fail by not getting back up and trying again.  Or you fail by not trying at all!  

I don't fear failure anymore because I have come to the realization that I really have nothing to lose but everything to gain!  So I'll let my imagination guide me because right now I imagine what it will be like on a fully financed film set, working with other actors and a director to creating something awesome.  My imagination is what will win this war against my reality because I know it's a reality that will come true.  I have the ability to make these things happen but it takes that first step and a crazy imagination!  

In 29 days, my team and I will launch a Kickstarter campaign for our film Beachwood Drive.  If you haven't seen it yet, check out our Facebook page and like it!  We'll be posting a lot the next few weeks and sharing images, sketches and a concept trailer.  This film is my imagination exploding into reality and I want you all to be apart of the thrilling ride!
