The Beatles, Bill Gates, Spielberg, virtuoso pianists and hall of fame athletes, all share a similar background: approximately 10,000 hours of dedicated practice before their mid-20’s. The Beatles had Hamburg, Gates programmed non-stop for years as a teen. Filmmaker Nick Rua is cut from that cloth, and has followed in their footsteps. This short film honors those who pursue their passage, and gives some indication of Nick’s commitment in action. He has been writing, blogging, filming, and editing since he was 10. He has won multiple awards for commercial video and festival hardware. He graduates high school in 3 June 2013.
