The Burden of Dreams and Waiting

I don't know how many of you wanted to write or actually wrote a script. I didn't see this gift I have as a passion only. I wanted and I still want ( because I am not yet a professional screenwriter) to make a career from this. I dreamed about having at least one script made all my life. I cannot tell you how happy, excited and nervous I am knowing that the shooting of "Meet me in the park" begins on 19th July.

I am happy because one of my scripts succeeded to capture the attention of a director and some producers, I am excited because I have already seen the movie in my head and I know it is impossible to be the same at the end (it will be much more beautiful but not exactly the same) and I am nervous because I know there are so many things to put together, there are so many problems that can appear and only the courage and the strong will of those directly involved can get to this movie's "birth".

Yes, it is very sad for me that I am here, so far away , not being able to help and to encourage all of you. The only way I can make my presence to be felt are words.Written words that maybe some of you will not read. But if some of the actors, producers etc will read my blogs I tell them to be strong to have faith and to fight for this film to be a successful one.

Once, another producer wrote me back telling me my loglines are pretty good and intriguing but he needs completed scripts( in those days I hadn't finished any scripts) but he wanted me to continue and he was fascinated by the internet , who can relate two people from two far away corners of the world: United States of America and Romania. I wrote him back and told him that even if I am from Romania I won't stop till I become a successful screenwriter. I have a long way till then but I am on the right path....this is my shortcoming: I believe in impossible or almost impossible things...

So, if we have reached so far let's all believe in "impossible" things. Let's all don't stop till we make a great movie...because we all know it is going to be a successful movie.

Best Wishes,
