Thanksgiving Message

First and foremost, I'm thankful for the ones I love.

Time is given to us, but we take it for granted. We live breath to breath. I’m happy to have this time. 2011 has been a rocky year with health problems that required me to undergo a serious surgery, but all in all, it made me a more appreciative person for it.

Coming to a realization that I have been afforded wonderful opportunities to do what I am passionate about have really shifted my perspective. I’m thankful for Hibakusha, man. It’s one of those opportunities of a lifetime to be directing an animated film that you helped create. Choz is amazing. To think that this all started three years ago. And of course, 2012 has a lot of things to look forward to. I mean really amazing things!

But in this moment, I’m going to appreciate and share this wonderful meal with my family.
