Talk:Cameron Duncan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I first heard about Cameron Duncan when I watched the extras disk for "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". The movies and ads he made were really amazing, and after hearing Peter Jackson and his mother talk about his life, I found out what the movies meant. They really were based on his life; what it was like to have cancer and what his dreams were. I've always wanted to be a director, but I didn't really have a reason to be a director that much; I always thought that kids couldn't be directors, but then I heard Peter Jackson say that Cameron made his first movie when he was about 12 to 13, and I felt like he was telling me that I can follow my dreams because Cameron did. When I watched the extras disk of "The Return of the King", I thought that Cameron had survived cancer and went on to make more movies, but then when I read this article and it saying that he died in 2003, it really tore my heart a lot. I was thinking about maybe contacting him to talk about a movie idea I had, but now he's gone and that really makes me sad. I think that he lived a good life, and he was called to start making movies when he was young, because Someone knew that he wouldn't live as long a life as some, and that in itself is a miracle. Cameron shaped my life in the 15 minutes that I watched the talk in that one extras disk, and I will never forget it. -J. R. Bryan (7 February 2006)
