I hold in my hands the uncut video from the film. Thanks to Chance's handheld work and Chris' lighting -- not to mention really great and understated performances by Melissa, Donna, and Scott -- this story looks absolutely incredible. In all seriousness, if this is the last film I ever make (following up on the threat I throw out every single time I shoot a movie), it's the perfect swan song. And like the Brits say, get out while they still like you.
Thanks to all the cast, crew, extras, and everyone who provided us with steps on the journey so far. There's still a long way to go, but the most critical bits are done, and everyone involved deserves applause, liquor, and illegal favors on my behalf.
Man, if you didn't know better, watching my excitement right now, you'd think I had just finished a three hour epic or something...
