We started filming in Dallas on February 3rd and now, a month later, we are 5 days away from wrapping. We are 5 days away from completing a shoot for a movie. A movie!! I have a hard time initiating conversation about this film with people because it feels so foreign coming out of my mouth. Not only is the topic hard to discuss but it’s hard to communicate what kind of project we have on our hands.
Hear this: We have an incredible project on our hands.
These boys didn’t just grab a camcorder, write a few lines, beg their friends to speak the lines, and scream action, they actually made a film; an intriguing, beautiful, well directed piece of Cinema.
This wasn’t easy and wasn’t always fun. We all bled for this to be great and now, being over halfway done, our bleeding was not in vain.
My longing in this world is to create. Create beauty, thought, passion, life. Whatever I can get my hands on that will enable me to do these things for myself and for others, I will hold firm to. I’ve been on board many things that have failed. Failed, not from a lack of ability, but from a lack of heart and willingness to make it work. I don’t care what happens with this film in the “big picture” because I know we were a part of a bold beautiful creation. All of our work literally sits well with my soul.
I would like to publicly say “Thank You” to Boy From Mars Films. I’ve had the greatest time with all of you. Thank you for believing in me and pushing me to do this. Not only have I been a part of an incredible film but I’ve made some incredible friends. Keep me in mind for the future. Whatever you need, I’m there.
