Rejections are not an Option

May it be in Film Production, acting, the Arts, Writing, Publishing and other industries, many of us have faced rejections from publishers, film producers, editors, etc. If ambitious - Rejections gives one more impetus to continue on.

I faced my first rejection in my younger years, when a journalist teacher of a school newspaper rejected my admittance. I moved on, wrote my first short story which was published in a university short story magazine. The teacher who rejected my application, was made aware of the publication through another teacher. He called and congratulated me. My response was "Thank You Sir, it's highly appreciated".

I left that town and moved on to a larger city, where I eventually worked as editor of a entertainment industry newspaper and editor of a number of film industry books. My wish was fulfilled because to me "Rejections are not an Option".

Another wish was fulfilled that of being a "Best Nominated Hollywood Film Publicist". ...And in the EU to have had the privilege in having produced a film with Kineofilm of Italy.
