I'm kind of a reckless optimist...

<p class="p1">I'm an actor and a youth speaker and I've always wanted to make films. I am starting with a short film that I have watched in my mind about 400 times.&nbsp;<br><br>I heard a psychologist, Gordon Neufeld, talk about the importance of play in childhood development. He said the difference between work and play is simple:<br><br></p><p class="p1">Work is about enjoying the end result.&nbsp;<br>Play is about enjoying the activity itself.&nbsp;<br><br></p><p class="p1">When an artist&nbsp;<i>plays</i>&nbsp;with an idea, he looks at it from every angle, not to get it done, but out of sheer enjoyment. He explores all of its possibilities like a child playing in a sandbox. And through play, the artist develops her idea into something masterful.<br><br></p><p class="p1">When an artist merely&nbsp;<i>works</i>&nbsp;on an idea, he stifles creative passion to get the project complete.&nbsp;<br><br></p><p class="p1">The artists responsibility is to take&nbsp;<i>play</i>&nbsp;very seriously.&nbsp;<br><br></p><p class="p1">I have played with this movie in my mind for about 5 years. And now I am ready to <i>work</i>&nbsp;to make it happen.&nbsp;</p>
