Who doesn’t love a good juicy celebrity story? In all honesty, I don’t. At least not in the standard gossip idea of celebrities and the lives they lead. I’ve met many famous people, and why I care is due to their craft as an artist. I am unbelievably passionate about art, primarily in the form of film and music. As such, there are musicians and actors I greatly admire, respect, and that I would love to work with. I don’t give a flaming flying rip about celebrity photos or autographs, but working with someone I deeply respect would be a dream come true.
In various moments in my career as a creative human, I have definitely become enchanted by the idea of working with people like Bill Murray, John Cleese, Dave Thomas, Rick Moranis, and Robert Downey Jr – to name a few. So enchanted that it moved me to action. I have numerous stories of trying to work with some of these celebrities. The stories will be on-going as I will continue to make films for the rest of my life. Here’s the stories I’ve shared to date:

While working with some of the artists I’ve looked up to for most of my life would be unbelievable, I’m not dependent on celebrities to create art. I Will Thrive documents my path to financial, emotional, and psychological freedom. I’ve learned just how desperate my inner self was for validation. When I started to write screenplays, I immediately gravitated toward the need for celebrities in my work.
Today, rather than a celebrity, I’d almost be more excited to create a film where the star is someone no one has ever heard of. What if I could help them grow a fan base and live their dreams as an actor? That would be far more fulfilling.
Thank you for joining me in the I Will Thrive journey. I’d be honored for you to join me in re-wiring our minds to a thrive mentality!
