Dreams & Goals

To have one of my screen plays produced, then another etc
On a larger scale, making movies relevant and entertaining and original. My opinion of Hollywood is that it has degenerated into a pitiful state of expensive cliches. I thought Benjamin Button was utterly boring yet it is considered by many to be a good movie. My dream is to revitalize story telling.
