So, then coming back to AVA... when I first read it literally took my breath away - the beauty of the images and the emotional colors Bogdan paints with in it gave me shivers, but then when I saw violin music in the script I was sold completely - I realized this was something I had to be a part of!  Of course, even without the lure of the violin I doubt I would have been able to put the script down. It's really challenging and compelling stuff so that even today, whenever I pick it up, I feel like I am suddenly taken back into the reality of the story. The images the script conveys are that powerful, the characters that believable. And, after seeing The Angel, I feel confident that Bogdan will be able to realize these qualities in the finished film.

I think part of my fascination with film in general stems from the fact that I really wasn't exposed to it as a child. That cassette player was probably the only piece of technology in our household till my late teen years so I never got to watch TV or movies on VHS.  So, the first movie I saw in the theaters was Jurassic Park in my mid teens. Devin Anderson probably showed me my first film, Star Wars, when I was 14 or 15. The effect that experience, and those particular films, had upon me was profound, and that's probably a key to why I've become so interested in how the cutting edge of technology is applied to the arts today. And, of course since then I've become immersed in all sorts of different types of movies, but I think it's that technological aspect that really captured my attention.

I feel like we're at the tip of the iceberg and, with the RED camera coming out and all the developments happening at the post-production stage, it's a very exciting time to be involved in film.
