| | We wrapped Happily After - unofficially - on Sunday, Sept. 13 at 11:17am.
Two days of pickups await us in October while our lead actress's arm heals from the injury she incurred halfway through the shoot, but despite the best efforts of the universe at large to stop us, this unbelievable cast and crew has prevailed over the past three weeks in ways I never imagined. (On top of it all, Sharina's going to be fine, too. Whew.) Until midway through the last week of shooting, there was still that minor part of me that wondered just how we would accomplish such a thing. I wonder no more. And there isn't a stressed-out bone in my body.
Which is good. Because I'm about to do this whole damn thing again in two months. Separation Anxiety has officially gone into fundraising mode, now that our cast is finalized and the crew is coming together. I'm going down to Columbus next week to location scout with Cole and Mike and to help Cole and Kiana make their big move to Chi-town. Thank the Lord. I think I've been unceremoniously counting down the days in my head until we could finally be in the same city, and now that day has arrived. So pumped.
Now, my life returns to a semblance of normalcy. I've booked about half a dozen freelancing gigs for the next few weeks, and hopefully more will surface in October before Separation Anxiety gets going. I desperately need to make some money, but I'm strangely not worried. I feel as though I've done this all before, and after Happily After I genuinely don't think anything can stand in my way. I feel invincible. What sort of low-budget film survives the scheduling mishaps and medical emergencies ours did?
Glass City Films has made a habit of making the impossible possible. Nothing bodes well more than that. Truly, I stand on the shoulders of giants. This cast and crew was without question the best I've ever worked with. I could not have asked for more. Can lightning strike twice in one year? We shall see.
