There are lots of reasons I'm a film fanatic.
I was born into a filmmaking family.
My grandfather and at least one of my uncles worked in Hollywood studios until they retired.
One of my brothers also worked on a movie.
I found it interesting when they would discuss actors as they really are.
When I was thirteen, my brothers and I got to work with our grandfather one day.
We were transporting film equipment from a studio, I forgot which one, to Cinemobile System Inc. .
I don't remember much about day except grampa laughing at me trying to lift a hundred pound cable off the ground and my younger brother, who was six, carrying around a 3000 dollar light bulb, 1970's money.
I grew up in Las Vegas, which is a huge factor in my enthusiasm for films.
In Vegas, the average summer day is almost all ways above 100 degrees, that limited my activity to indoors.
I'm not much for reading, as you can tell by my grammar, so movies were it.
Back then, there were only five channels on the TV.
I remember watching La Strada and The Seventh Seal on PBS because there was nothing else on, funny thing was, I really enjoyed them.
The internet has made my fanaticism worse, there are great movies I've seen that I would have never heard of without it.
That's me for the most part, I would like to hear from others, what makes you a film nut?
