Unbelievable, all the pieces are here! From no team & no ability to commit 2 short weeks ago, to a great script, full characterizations, super location, wonderful selfless people committing to making this film. I never knew it could "just fall in" like this.
Several months ago when I self assuredly (cocky!) said "I can make a film, how hard can it be", I really had no idea. My turning point was when I realized I absolutely could NOT make a film on my own. At that point, i was able to walk away from the whole concept, it was no longer "Francine's Film." Since then & most assuredly because my attitude changed, every piece I could ask for has wonderfully fit into the puzzle.
To some this would be a frustrating process, & had I discussed the countless times it was on , then off, I would have appeared completely distracted, with no goal in sight. Because I stopped trying to push my agenda, every time one area dropped out of the equation, within days, another popped up to take it's place, me doing nothing, just knowing something would happen! Viola, it did!
In brief, the team consists of 18 people, all giving their time & talents for this project, how humbling. Sally Field will never live down her "you really like me" acceptance speech, but I understand, you never really, sincerely in your heart know if you make a difference & if others sincerely care, until you are forced to reach out….& there is a hand offered to you.
So now I begin to ramble, there are countless things to do still. There's an audition for a film tomorrow morning, in the afternoon to Milwaukee for a fitting, then the commercial shoot Friday morning, & then suddenly, it's Saturday! Call time is 7:00 AM! Yikes, time to go!
