Run, Run, Run
Filed Under Life
Run, run, run, as fast as you can… When I was seven, I acted in my first movie. I loved the acting part, but traveling didn’t seem to agree with me. I worked day and night, sometimes needing to dub a film during post production and working until two or three in the morning. My mother was a director, moving from sets to sets in a different film, who I could only meet occasionally, always not having her in the picture when I grew up seemed to leave a void in my memory.
When I finished my last movie at age eleven, I decided never ever touch the movie business again, not for me, or my future family. I ran, I ran, I ran, as far away from movie industry as possible. Despite my obvious talent in writing songs, directing radio shows and acting, I chose to enter the top engineering school, one that rivals MIT and earned a BS and an MBA degree at the end. I joined prestigious consulting firms, took my profession as a Marketing Researcher, and had my essays published worldwide for management topics.
In a mysterious way of life, I ended in Universal Studios, which is one of the biggest studios in Hollywood. At another turn of my life, I re-joined the professionals of producers, casting directors, script writers, and movie publicists, and entered the conversation of film making again.
…you cannot catch me, I am the gingerbread man. Maybe gingerbread man is supposed to be eaten.
