I think the great turning point for me in my career is going to be Yogi Bear. I'm not talking about career in the sense of how the public views me, or my becoming a celebrity, but my career as an artist. I fan feel an intrinsic change that is the result of joining this film, I'm writing more, the genesis of ideas is coming to me at a rapid rate, and most of all I can feel myself becoming more disciplined. I'm beginning to see clearly what it's going to take for me to become the comedic entity that I want to be, and that is all rooted in a film about a talking bear and his smaller talking bear friend.
Through script analysis I am really understanding the allegories and metaphors that inhabit this film, as well as some pretty interesting threads that interweave throughout, there are of course the themes of identity, love won and lost, and friendship, but the inherent evil nature of government, bureaucracy, ambition and it's darker side in the context of a country that holds it in such esteem is all within the text, it's up to us to expose it in a way that is subtle and not too overt, but communicable to the general public. We do have a shot at making this film great, and it's going to require great effort, and great care, from all of us.
