Technology isn't the enemy it is our ally but only if we adopt a new model that puts people before profit. I realize that we seem far from that model but I have seen it in action and it is a beautiful thing. So I'm not willing to give up yet. Hope is the last thing to die.

I had come to the point when I realized it was unlikely that my film career was going to move beyond a certain level of role.
