Hope Springs Eternal!

Hiya, Folks...

I had quite a nice conversation with a high school classmate of mine yesterday and the future is looking brighter. I've done some research today and it seems that the outlook on getting the film to post-production is not as bleak as I had originally thought.

I have some work to do and it will take a few weeks, at least, but at least I can actually get something done. There are some issues to iron out, but the really time consuming work seems to have a solution.

I will update as best I can. Please keep your good and encouraging thoughts and wishes coming... I need all the help I can get! I am re-inspired, though, now that things seem to be headed back toward my original plans for the film. I wanted to keep this a simple, grass-roots, honest project, contributed to by people who have a true caring for the subject matter. That is where we're headed and it is doing my heart good.

Keep the faith, kids.

Be well & stay safe, everyone.

Now...

Deep, cleansing breath...

The holidays are over! My family and I have had a crazy couple of months - my father was in the hospital for a month, inclusive of Thanksgiving and during his hospital stay, my mother and eldest niece were involved in a motor vehicle accident. All are on the mend now and my focus can shift back to other things. Although I do have a lot on my plate, getting things back in order and getting into post-production with this film are foremost on the list.

I will be spending some time re-writing the script, hopefully meeting with a former classmate of mine regarding editing and working with some others to get this project completed.

I have had multiple requests for DVD copies of the film. I had addressed this somewhere else in the blog, but have no idea how far back it is, so I'll say this here. There is a small group of people with whom I have worked along the way that have been promised a DVD copy of the film upon its completion. Beyond that, DVD availability once the film is aired will be up to the Providence Firefighters. This film will belong to them when it is completed and it will be up to them to decide whether or not they will make it available for purchase and how much it will cost. When I am given that information, I will post it here.

I will do my best to keep you all posted and as always, I thank you so much for your support and encouragement. Now that I have some truly viable prospects, I am hoping to get this thing done. Please do feel free to leave comments, but when you do, please leave your name, as well. (Anonymous comments are a pet peeve of mine!) Thank you!

Keep checking back for updates!

Be well & stay safe, everyone.

Best,

Erin
