\u201cI had the chance to meet the other filmmakers already, and hearing their stories was very inspiring and interesting. One of the big goals for me is to network with the people who are doing more advanced films than me, who made features, who are really taking the craft to the new height,\u201d said Wright.<\/p>\n

\u201cMajor\u201d features Scott Eberlein\u2019s story, who was a successful actor living in Hollywood in the late 1990s. But after the terrorist attack on Sept. 11, 2001, Eberlein joined the Army. He worked his way up to eventually reach the rank of major. Now, 21 years later, Eberlein is ready to retire and is preparing to adjust to his new life as a civilian and veteran.<\/p>\n

As his godfather, Eberlein greatly influenced director Wright, who witnessed the journey throughout his career. Eberlein was a strong leader who was the center of attention. This was the value that Wright would strive for and apply in films to pull the best out of the people. He showed \u201cresiliency\u201d even though he underwent ups and downs in his life.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven in chaos, just keep moving forward,\u201d said Eberlein, in the film.<\/p>\n

Wright plans to continue his work and improve himself. He wants to create films about outdoor sports. \u201cThe Alpinist\u201d by Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen, and \u201c14 Peaks: Nothing is Impossible\u201d by Torquil Jones are films Wright recommends.<\/p>\n

Additionally, he is interested in the story of the \u201chuman condition,\u201d including mental health issues such as suicide or depression. He desires to open people\u2019s eyes and send the message to them: \u201cIt is what we all go through, and they are not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n
