DEMENTIA CAN'T DIMINISH MY DREAM

It's funny, how much I missed making films. It's almost the only thing I've done since 1963. I started working as an editor in Honolulu in 1973. Its hard to stop something you've done during most of your life. I was very lucky - First Film Internship at 17 at a Honolulu doc and commercial production house (gofer, film developer, audio editor), First professional job at 19 in Tokyo, Japan (asst camera). Worked as a commercial editor, neg cutter, grip, sound recordist, etc at 20 (300 commercials), then First 35mm feature film filmmaking at 22, trailer editor at 23 (at Dimension pictures), at Feature Film deal at 26, First shot and completed 35mm feature at 27, first theatrical release at 28...and onward. So it's all I've ever done, all I ever dreamed of. Even the dementia can't diminish my dream to make more! Dementia, MS can not compete with dreams. Well, it can cross the wiring but not kill the drive..I hope! - ALBERT.
