Day Four

I'm listening to: "Something More" by Switchfoot

Today is day four from a very long, tiring, and beautiful weekend.... 

Day 1
Friday Morning
This weekend was all about Where You Are..or was it?  Yeah it was...but anyway. My plane flew in at 9:18am, and I was greeted by my wonderful partners Zachariah and Sarah. We headed back to Sarah's place where we had planned to read Where You Are to our composer Darren Mcfate. This was such an important moment for us, because as you know, music and sound is so important. And we wanted Darren to hear the films emotion. So I read, and read, and read, and read. And it was such a good time for us, and Darren. We ended up sitting around after the reading and just talked about.....Life.....for another 2 hours. That was it so great about this film....it almost forces you to talk after it is over....and not about how well it was...but about...something more....something bigger...

Friday Night
As some of you know in September we shot another short film entitled "Happy Birthday Wes", starring Jason McCool, Marissa Molnar, and Chris Rubeiz. We had finally finished the post work and the premiere was planned for friday night.  Friends, actors, crew members, supporters, came to see the film and see each other. It was a great night. We played the film, and it shined bright. Brighter than Sarah, Zachariah, and I thought that it would.  We were proud....so was everyone else. It amazed me to look around the room and see all of the muscians, talent, crew...people who are so very skilled in their craft. A Team.  And it was good for us to feel successful together. It was because of our team that we made this film, and it is so good because of this team. 

Day 2
Saturday....All Day Saturday
We were so amazed by our team last night. It was awesome, and that gave us some great fuel for the task that was inf ront of us. "Locking the Screenplay". What is so great about last night, and Happy Birthday Wes, is that so many people from that team will be working on Where You Are. But today we had to write, discuss changes, put the film in its final version. It was hard, and it took 10 hours straight to fix. But we did it. and its really hard to believe that the film is EVEN better than it was on Friday. 

Day 3
Sunday
This morning we drove to DC to film a promo about Where You Are. We will have it launch with the new Where You Are website soon. We are excited to share that with you. I won't say much about that, cause you'll just need to see it for yourself. But it was cool....and I mean that litterly...it was snowing/raining in DC when we were film. We were freezing. Chucks suck in the cold, and Sarah wasn't socks, but my situation was clearly worse....Zachariah had gloves.....jerk..but we pressed in and made it happen. 

Day 4
And now i'm hearing sitting at my familar place. With my beautiful wife. 

Where You Are lives on.....and thanks for following us....thanks for supporting us...we need it. Thank you very much.
