Mission Or Bust...

As with anything in my life I feel one of two things are going to happen on this trip. One, the trip will be a success and I will accomplish my $500,000 mission. On the other hand there is the chance that I shall fail miserably. You know what kind of failure I am talking about. The car is stolen, my tent blows away, I'm robbed at knife point by a hostile preteen, my only set of clothes are eaten by a fashion conscious bear, and the always possible- I only raised $2.00 failure. Because my friends when I fail I do it well. But as Woody Allen once said, "If you are not failing now and again, it's a sign you're playing it safe."

I realize such thoughts are the work of my own neurosis and that is to be expected. I am after all about to embark upon a journey where the ultimate destination is unknown. What I am sure of is this resonating force within my soul to create and tell stories. I want to produce movies- therefore I need to take the initiative and do just that. As a producer you are responsible for finding the funding for your movie and that is exactly what I am going to do.

Regardless, of whether or not I raise all the money I need to make my movie, this trip will in no way shape or form be a failure. Failure can transpire ONLY if I do not try in the first place...
