In a tough real estate market, I did well but there was something wrong with me. It took me a year to realize that real estate isn’t my calling even though I am a good broker and can function very well in the arena and love to work with people. I was unhappy but didn’t know why.

One day I got a call from a therapist named Rowland Glass. He explained that he knew of my work and wondered if I would be interested in producing a film. I told him that I would talk to him about it but hadn’t made any for a couple of years and didn’t plan to. I did want to talk to him.

After a couple of meetings with him, I realized that he had the makings of some really important work that someone needed to do something with.

One day I had a particularly bad real estate day. I had worked so hard to get a condo sold and I got my commission check.  You would have thought I would have been happy with it. I had done a dozen sales in a time when many agents had done one or no sales. Not me, I threw the check on the desk in disgust. I got up and walked out of my office and drove down to Sherri’s restaurant and had lunch. I pulled out the notes that I had made about the new film I was thinking about.

As I stared at them I thought about what I had gone through. What ran through my mind was a few years ago I had been a multi-millionaire and now I was broke. I was thinking that here I am looking at doing a film and I didn’t have the funding to do it. That had never stopped me before. I thought this film could be the most important film ever. Then it occurred to me.

I would have never done this film had I not gone broke. I was too wrapped up in money and keeping it flowing than the content of my films that I can only give them. God has His ways.

I know that this film could really be a great film for so many people and not just the people who struggle with substance abuse. I looked up the number of addictions there are to various things and I came up hundreds. What Rowland presented me with, was a way to get to the bottom of the addiction and help people find some relief.

I know you want to know more about the film and its content but I can’t tell you. If I do I will have to kill you. (Remember Top Gun?)  I am still in the creative state. If you read the way I work, you will remember that sometimes it takes me a while to figure out what and how to say it. I can say that the film is about learning to love you and have a good relationship with yourself. You see all the stories I told about drugs focused on people who didn’t love themselves.
