Wrapping up…
Wrapping up…
It’s been four days since we wrapped the film and I have slowly been reintegrating myself into society. I know that sounds very dramatic but truly that is how I have felt…it’s been very surreal. For the past 8 weeks I was in ENTRE NOS world and nothing else existed beyond the set. Every night I would try and watch the news in order to feel some connection to people and events outside my own art but I would rarely stay awake for more than 15 minutes. So my connection to the outside world was minimal. I had friends calling me, texting me, e-mailing me and I didn’t respond. So the past four days has been about reconnecting with my people and venturing out the city I love.
Last night I cooked fished, rice and broccoli and it was magnificent to eat in my own home. I know this calm will not last long as I will soon be in the “edit cave” but I am enjoying it for all it’s worth.
Gloria and I met yesterday and we have our plan of action ready to go. We are getting started right away! She is in the edit cave as I type…putting everything in bins, syncing sound and other technical things that I am happy to be excused from. She and I will meet up to begin our first edit session on the 22nd and from there we are running in order to make some very important deadlines.
Of course the big dance is on the agenda but the dream is so far from being a reality that I personally don’t have my hopes up. It has nothing to do with the quality of the film and has everything to do with time. We have been given an extension but we would still have to have a presentable rough cut in 6 weeks. Yes….6 weeks…. seems like an impossibility. But so many times things have felt impossible in project and somehow they came through…so I am not giving up on the big dance… yet …
Hans, the next post will be about the much used ipod…I promise!
