a short on the short
Update on the Short.
I’ve probably spent a good 60 hours on it altogether, and I’m still not in love with it. Since this is an exercise in completing a creative endeavor, a part of me just has to let go. I remember an acting teacher would say, “Be willing to be bad.” When you take the perfectionist out of you, that’s when real creativity takes place because your are free of your own limitations.
We start shooting next Sunday. I’m also the lead in it, so it’s time for me to now be the actress. My acting teacher would also say, “trust.” So now I must trust.
