Only the Good Remains…
I've been working on the website for the film, which should be up soon ("soon" is defined as "in the next few weeks").
One of the tasks I was occupied with recently was going through all of the behind-the-scenes photos. Whoa.
So on our film, I made a Google drive folder and encouraged cast and crew to drop their photos into it (since we didn't have the money for a proper set photographer). I'm going through all these pictures and I'm amazed - amazed for SEVERAL reasons.
First, I was surprised by the scope of the production. Twelve weekends of shooting, various locations, cast and crews of different sizes - and it was all organized by ME! I mean, I knew it was going to be a big job when I chose to do it - and I knew it was big WHILE I was doing it - but looking back on it? I feel like Urkel - "Uh, did I do that?" (For those who are too young to get the reference, Google it!)
It's like I'm seeing these photos of a project done by someone else...except it's me! It's a very strange experience to feel impressed with something I did - it's not in my nature.
The other thing that weirds me out is the fact that I look at these photos and smile. That's HUGE.
I mean, there were days during production when I thought I was going insane, but those moments seem so small now. I look at all the people I met and all the work that we did in those photos, and I feel good.
I can't say that about too many projects I've done, but this one? I'm content. That's all I ever wanted out of this, and it seems I got it. Damn, I'm lucky.
