Mr. Smith, my name is Sean Johnson. To get to the point, I want to be a director in Hollywood. What I need Is information. I live in a small city in Michigan. I just want to break into the business in any way that I can. I know people probably write you constantly asking these same questions, so I apologize if I sound redundant to you. There is nothing in this world I want more than to be a director. My passion for films and filmmaking knows no bounds. To sum up this little rant, I would incredibly appreciate any insight or pearls of wisdom you can spare. Oh yeah, I love your films and am looking forward to your next. I read in a magazine a while back that your next movie would be about fatherhood. I am going to be a father in late september, so I can't wait to use your movie as a guideline, or not. Thank you, Sean Johnson
