They were both adorable and Corey was such a sweet, gentle guy. I was very upset to read about his death. I've just come across this posting and how eloquent you are - not only about Corey, but being an artist as well. Hi Devi,

I met Corey and his mum at Rock n Shock near Boston and then a week later at Spooky Empire in Orlando in 2008. They were both adorable and Corey was such a sweet, gentle guy. I was very upset to read about his death.

I’ve just come across this posting and how eloquent you are – not only about Corey, but being an artist as well.

I am sorry to see Corey died, and what the Hollywood system does to people. I have been thinking alot recently about my motivations for working in film, and it has come down to me wanting to stick to doing what I love, and not focusing so much on what pays the most. So many people tell me I should go to Hollywood, and I just think to myself how hard it would be to not get burned out and hateful of my work and the industry there. I love independent film and recently I have been involved with many student films, and it has been great, much more fulfilling, and I get to have more creative input and freedom. Well said Devi!

It is true that this is a harsh industry full of rejection that isn't for everyone and not suitable for most kids. I hope to give Audrey the support she needs letting her know that everyday is a gift to enjoy with or without Hollywood. Her value is what she makes it, and isn't connected to booking a role. We did meet Corey and his mom a couple of times and they both were so kind to us. His mother was still obviously very proud of her son as we told him how much we loved him in "Lost Boys" and he graciously thanked us and wished the girls all the best Hollywood has to offer. Our family is very sad today at the loss of such a talent. He will always be remembered as our favorite Lost Boy.

It's almost like you should be a writer or something. :) Well said Devi. It’s almost like you should be a writer or something. :)
