Hi Geoff! I have spent so much time on your website as so many of my family and friends have all cheering on Rocky for the part of Scrap. I have found so much about your journey inspiring. I was a dancer for many years, then got into acting, then HAD to pay the bills so I got into sales. I still write and perform theatre on the side because I have to. If there's a lag, I get a feeling of emptiness. I have so many times wanted to quit "working for the man" and do all the things I dream about; write children's books based on my amazing boxer dogs, shoot a documentary, direct a foundation, etc. I so admire that you have made the choice to follow your dreams. Do it for all of us who have yet to GET ON THE PLANE. Don't stop now. Your story is amazing. It has to be told! There is so much buzz over this project with scrap. I and so many of my family and friends have sent countless emails, posts on facebook, twitter ALL OVER THE US. We have printed flyers and left them at the animal hospitals, doggie parks and local businesses. I went through absolute hell with Rocky getting diagnosed with Cancer and having to have his leg amputated. I cried more than I did for my own grandmother's funeral. I realize NOW that I was crying out of fear that this animal who I love more than I have ever loved anyone or anything might die. He didn't die. In fact, he's so incredibly healthy and happy and amazing. He makes me smile every day and he has touched so many people. When my friend emailed me your website and I read about your quest for find Scrap, I just knew he was the one. I will continue to utilize all of my marketing and networking to help Rocky help you promote your film! Whether Rocky is your Scrap or not, I think what you're doing is fantastic and we are all behind you!!! I also invite you to our home in Los Angeles when you make your way through for dinner, drinks or just some awesome snuggle time Rocky. He'd love to meet you in person! All the best to you!!
I don't know why you are chasing all around the world after the film makers when they are all coming to NZ to make films. I suggest you come home and go have words with Tim Shadbolt .. surely he can fix you up! If not him, then Peter Jackson. Lots of options bro. Just don't get locked up for overstaying.
Oh Geoff! Your blogpost took me back a year ago when I too had the same choices to make and thank the good Lord that I chose to jump and live!
Sometimes, we do things that no one understands, especially our pocketbooks! One thing that I have always lived by is this: God gave each person gifts that they need to utilize to live out their purpose so they can make a difference in other people's lives. If we stop right before we see the success we are about to have, we are potentially shortchanging someone that will be extremely blessed by such success!
What you might need to do is re-group, re-focus and ponder on this: What is it that you need to do in the next 90 days to get you closer to that success? Identify that and DO IT! The other thing is, you might want to find a mentor or a coach. I found Raymond Aaron (the gentleman who is one of Robert Kiyosaki's and Jack Canfield's mentors) I can do a personal introduction to you and him on Twitter whenever you're ready.

Ver still says, from experience of not chasing dreams and regretting it, to JUMP!
Don't do it ... not without a parachute anyway.

I will be praying for you my dear, dear Friend!

You'll regret it for ever if you give up, Geoff! It's not worth it, trust me, just keep going for it!
