Where It All Began

and 

Where It will Never End

BRAINSTORM

So it must have been around the turn of the last century that I started to read up on Leni Riefenstahl on the Internet. I never found anything close to a site dedicated to Leni Riefenstahl. 

Why had no one and when would someone create a site fitting this persons importance in cinema ? What an idea, create a website ! And so it began.

My films come from ideas. I don't know where they come from, but they are the best thing going."

I SPENT NIGHT AFTER NIGHT ON DOG PILE, GOOGLE, NORTHERN LIGHTS, LYCOS, HOT BOT AND EVEN (ARRGGH...) YAHOO.

 I WANTED TO KNOW IF I WOULD ONLY BE REPEATING WHAT SOME MORE QUALIFIED PERSON HAD ALREADY PLACED ON THE WWW WEB.

YES, OVER 4,000 INDEPENDENT WEB HITS WERE PERUSED BY ME YOUR HUMBLE NARRATOR....

YES MY BROTHERS, I TRIED THEM ALL AND FOUND NOTHING ! NO NOT ONE DEDICATED SITE IN EXISTENCE ON LENI RIEFENSTAHL.

AMAZING...

SO, I COULD PROCEED. I BEGAN TO OBTAIN MY MATERIALS AND INFORMATION IN LATE 1999.

AFTER THE FIRST HUNDRED HOURS, I BEGAN TO WONDER WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL HAD I UNLEASHED.

 I HAD NOT ONE WORD WRITTEN, NO IDEA HOW TO AUTHOR OR CONSTRUCT A WEB PAGE AND NO MODERN COMPUTER EQUIPMENT....

AND THIS, WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.
