NOT NOW
"God isn't telling you "no." He's just saying "not now."
I can't remember if it was my mom or my wife who told me this - maybe both. (It's concerning how often I confuse the two.) But it's an important note.
I wasn't sure I was ever going to get the chance to make a feature. There were fits and starts over the past decade, but it was never the right time. Until it was. Then everything seemed to click into place - script, cast, crew, post-production...
It's hard to wait for that opening though. And sometimes that opening never appears, in which case, you have to find a way to make peace with that. But many times, that can send you in a new direction which is even better.
I'm entering a new stage now that the film has been lifted from my plate, and I'm trying to decide what's next. Do I keep pushing forward down path X? Or do I try my hand at something different and travel down path Y?
X is showing some good progress, but maybe I'm better with Y? Or maybe I want some sort of combination of the two? Either way, I'll be telling stories, and I hope you're there to hear them. Thanks folks!
