And So It Begins...

Team Hammel Motion Pictures was born here.

On this site, on a bitter cold New England night, in a lonely, far off nook of the internet, I heaved my hopes into the unknown and made a statement to an audience of one:

It Begins Here.

What begins here? The Search, The Search begins.

Not for fame, not for fortune, and not for "success." No, I've tasted a bit of all of those, and though they're nice to have, it's just not enough for me.

What I am searching for is much harder to obtain.

This blog is just the first step of a long journey toward a goal that my heart tells me that I must strive for.

Team Hammel Motion Pictures is just a name, a hope that I have, it's just an idea...but Ideas Can Change The World.

And in the end, what matters is not what we have, or what we've lost, what matters is the meaning that we give to those things.

What Team Hammel Motion Pictures means to me is Everything. It is my way of giving something of myself, (hopefully something of value,) to the universe. It's my way of contributing to this life, and to the people in my life, who have given so much to me.

A decade of hard work, a third of my life, and a dream that has been following me around like a kid with a crush for as long as I can remember, begins here.

In a one-horse town, under the dark pall of insideous Suburban centrism, at 1:43 AM, my evolution reached a bold landmark.

In a room so filled with clothes, books, and the remnants of a life long gone that I can't get from my mattress to the door without stepping on something important from my past, I took my first step toward what I hope and believe to be a better future.

I'll post some specific steps I've taken recently to reach my goal, later on...but for now, I'm tired, and I need to sleep. But you can bet I'll be dreaming big because pretty soon, I won't be able to tell the difference between my dreams and reality.

It Begins Here.
