What a long strange trip it's been.

Well, I guess that before I leave the country for a week of sunshine, I best put some thoughts down.

Since the Sundance Festival's end, our film "Una Vida Mejor" has gone through it's own morphing and is now almost a film. As usual, technology is not kind to filmmakers. If you are a filmmaker, then don't read on, you know the pain I am about to describe. If you are not, then consider this, you have spent not only months, but possibly years to birth a baby, and then, it won't leave the womb! It is actually a grown adult and refuses to show itself. You have painstakingly created each and every look, and moment of its life to the point that all it has to do is show up and now the damn thing is staring at you from that space and won't come out. This is the best way to describe a perfect film stuck in the computer and having difficulty coming out to its own party!!

We have been through 3 days of sure fire hell and well, we think we have the solution to birthing the baby, but only time will tell. Meanwhile, I am leaving on vacation and am hoping that all is well and when I return, the finished product is on its way to Cinequest and will look as beautiful as when it was created. I will let you know if it is a boy or girl when I return from my vacation. We are fine with either, just as long as it is "healthy."

Until then, you can leave your hat on!
