Update

Hey, All -

Met with the editor last night. Actually, he's more along the lines of a producer, but he will do some fact finding and numbers crunching and let us know how he can help. It will probably be a couple of weeks before there's a solid update, but at least there's some hope. At least I got as far as a meeting! Oy... what a haul.

Anyhow, the meeting was promising. Ideas were shared and plans discussed. It was nice to have someone with industry experience tell me that the plans are good and that the footage is awesome. Some of it will need to be cleaned up a little bit, but he was impressed with the use of light and the quality of the footage.

It was a little scary at some points - it is very difficult to be so deeply involved in a project and be willing to trust a total stranger with it's post-production, but I know it must be done. It was also interesting seeing the result of presenting the film and dispelling the idea that it is politically driven. It is understandable that an "outsider" might immediately assume that, given the circumstances of late, but it is nice to know that the piece stands on its own merit.

I will update when I know more. I am a little disappointed over the thought that I may actually need to bite the bullet and spend more to make this film, but if it means that it gets made within the next six months instead of six years, then we'll do what we have to do. I sold Girl Scout Cookies to go to camp... maybe I'll have to sell my Mom's brownies to make this movie! Hey Mom, fire up the oven. Looks like we might have to have a FOBs sale. (Don't ask, folks... just suffice it to say that the firefighters have given the name to the brownies, not me.)


Wow - this is the longest post I've written in a long time.

Okay, Kids - thanks, as always and I'll update as needed.

Be well & stay safe, all. Keep the faith - it'll get done.

With much love and gratitude,

Erin
