Hmmm. Sadly it was too good for this world...

I did not even expect to get into Sundance! We submitted literally at the last possible second- I crammed an application into the mail slot at the 34th street Post office at exactly midnight on the last day of applications.

Just getting accepted to Sundance was like winning! I never thought we would win the Audience Award! I highly recommend it. It was amazing! Imagine, no one ever seeing the film and then having 800 people seeing it and reacting in a huge way twice a day for ten days!. Lots of cool experiences- like meeting one of the founders of Burning Man at a screening and having him say- "I was totally moved- here are two tickets to Burning Man."

It was Amazing! -can't really describe...

Funny Question!

I really worked hard to make his dreams come true. When I started on the film he was helping in 4 nursing homes, the film blew him and his nonprofit sky high- he's now in 3000 nursing homes and the film was what lifted him.

He sued me 10 days before Sundance and now he is suing me again. He is saying I can not teach the themes of my film, that I am somehow competing with him.

No good deed goes unpunished. We are no longer friends.

I love that I work for myself, or rather I get to work for the common unconscious. This is what makes me happy! I get to work in the land of the dreams we do not even know we are having- that is where I like to spend my time and I have a life that lets me do it. Who knows how long it will last but it is pretty cool now. I love docs because you get to enter worlds. If I were smarter or more courageous I would probably be a busker or a surfer. (but I don't have the chops!)
