When I first started, 

I made movies with my

high school friends.

I was once a talented newcomer

like you.

At age 22, 

I wrote & directed my first feature.

But nobody saw it. 

It was a TOTAL FAILURE.

And it took me 15 more years

to FINALLY breakthrough.

WTF?

Next, I studied at NYU

with talented peers.

And I won a screenplay award

for my thesis film.
