The Inspiration


The first minute and a half of this song sets the tone for this entire film. I was stuck in rush hour traffic on a cold February day, on my way to work when I had this film play out in front of me. I had just turned on this song and I could see it very vividly. The characters, the colors, the emotion. All of it panned out right in front of me. I knew at that moment that this story had to be told. My life is not at all like Sam's is, I could only imagine what a little boy of that age would experience going through the trials he does. I have seen Struggle and major life changing trials in ways I would compare to Sam's trials but my family has been there for me through all of it. I have watched friends and family members hurt and scared, much in the same way Sam is. It sounds backwards but my family has been an inspiration for this film, with out them my life would be Sam's.
