2012 Year's resolution

     "Art completes what nature cannot bring to finish. The artist gives us knowledge of nature's unrealized   ends."            Aristotle.

I would love to think that I was one of those artists who made things more beautiful than they ever got to be. That all I had to do was enhance what nature has given us for the amusement of others. Unfortunately, humankind has made it impossible for this to happen, for we are not finishing the beauty of nature, we are destroying it. As time goes by we seem to be less conscious of the effect that we have in nature and our surroundings.

     My ultimate goal as a filmmaker is to provide knowledge of nature's unrealized end but I feel the responsibility to first provide knowledge and consciousness to those who live a life of denial. Mediocrity has led more than one person to believe that if they do one good deed for the world, their grain of sand is already there. That is not true. I want to show the world the life we could be living if we had good habits and a good relationship with our planet.

     I want to create atmospheres and worlds so beautiful that they make people be willing to actually do something to get to that point, to where nature is not beautiful enough, to where art is the ultimate medium of beauty. If I can make people see past all stereotypes, races, governments and economies to see real beauty I would consider my ultimate goal to be achieved. I could leave this world knowing that what I did helped future generations. 

This is my resolution for this new year. 2012 will bring great things to the world and to the artists that are willing to express their opinions regardless of what others may think. So get out there and start completing your new year's resolutions my fellow filmmakers, lets make some art!
