He was born in Ohio, USA with a great passion for film making. At 10, he started shooting with his father's movie camera. But things at school weren't going well for him as he did poorly with grades. He was bullied and treated poorly at school because of his inability to read properly.
By the time he was 18, he had already made long films independently but all his dreams turned to ashes when he got rejected for film making from university of south California.
He was heartbroken & depressed because getting into that University was his dream but he kept on pursuing his passion. So he went to the theaters and saw every film that he could. He walked past the guards at "Universal Studios" & watched major projects being filmed. Soon he was offered a small unpaid intern job at Universal Studio.
And later with movies like 'Indiana Jones' and 'Jurassic Park', he eventually rose to fame. One day he was invited to get an honorary Degree from a university. It was the same university that rejected him years ago.

There is a fine line between pursuing your passion, despite hurdles and giving up on situational resistances. Its all about giving your best and joyfully living your passion.
