Screenplay

April 6, 2014

Maybe I’m the monkey

And what I see is what I want to do

But there’s something about

Creating one world

And sharing it with another

That appeals to me.

Maybe it’s a visual thing

And my eyes are bigger than my stomach

But there’s something about

The high risk of failure

That makes me want

To keep falling and flying.

Maybe I’m just a dreamer

And the screen is not the thing

But there’s something about

Seeing the construction of film

That makes me want to draw some blueprints.
