Offside (2001)
An outstanding and inspiring film.
Having completed several short projects myself I understand the complexity and difficulty of creating a short film that is not only visually stimulating to an audience, but maintains its focus and story as well. I was in awe of Leanna Creel's 'Offside', and its ability to draw me in immediately. The film takes every exceptionally detailed & focused element and forms an extraordinary and inspiring piece. Not one detail is overlooked, from the superb acting to the outstanding production design. I commend both the Writer/Director and the entire Cast and Crew on an amazing achievement.
Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
The movie that changed my life.
When I walked out of the theatre on January 7, 1990 my life had changed forever. For the first time I knew completely what I wanted to do -- make movies. 'Born on the Fourth of July' was the first movie I had seen (on the big screen) that hit me where I lived. Granted I was only 14 when I saw it but many of the themes still translated to my adolescent life. Internal insecurities, the opposite sex, regretting decisions and facing the harsh consequences. Ron Kovic's struggle made me think about what life really means to me. I thank him, Oliver Stone and Tom Cruise for producing such a powerful story which has changed my life forever.
