Recently, I met the original screenplay writer of W***y Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, David Seltzer.
He's such an amazing man.
David told me so many incredible stories. Especially about Roald Dahl.
We met at a Comic-Con event through a mutual colleague. David waited at the front gate for me to enter. David gave me a big hug and said how much he likes and respects my work. He said he was so happy to see me.
I did magic for him and told my story about Lucas and about how I accidentally got into being Andy Wonka.
Then I pitched him the idea idea for the fourth W***y Wonka movie that I've been working on. He likes it a lot and said that he would read it and give me feedback. I was so happy!
David said that he felt that Gene Wilder was with us at that moment and that Gene was over joyed. David started crying and I gave him a big hug.
On my climb to the top of the mountain in Hollywood, I've been climbing so high that I can't turn back. I've been in the cold, ice and clouds for years. Some days I can barely move when the wind is in my face.
I haven't been able to see the sun or know where the top of the mountain is, but when David started crying and said that Gene Wilder was with us, I saw the sun for a split second and caught a glance of the top of the mountain.
I've always looked for signs in my career that I could make it. In my heart I felt that I could do it, but there was always doubt.
Now I know I can make it. I just need to finish my script and get on Shark Tank for my candy company.
Thanks for following my journey and supporting me. It's been a little Wild-er.
