Though Star Wars has been a part of my life since before I can remember (reading EU books in elementary school and so forth), the turning point for me was Episode II. (It's only redeeming feature - ha!) A friend and I started creating a lightsaber routine, then decided we'd make a movie from it. I searched the Internet to see if others had done this.

They had.

What followed was my passion for filmmaking, nurtured by TF.N and what would become the Key Pixel gang. Though we're not actively making movies anymore, we're still all good friends; and my filmmaking talent has landed my my current job as a wedding videographer. It's not what I envision my final career being, but I don't think there's anything else where I am and my boss is pretty rad, so I'm fine with this.

And if it weren't for filmmaking, I probably wouldn't have met my wife, albiet indirectly. I went to college for computer programming, hoping to make video games. I sucked at it. Who knows if, instead of staying for a general Communications degree that had a couple of film courses (how was I to know that I'd know more than the professor in those), I might've transferred elsewhere.

So in short: Attack of the Clones and bashing sticks in the backyard, with a camera.
