the night before
For some, tomorrow is about football. For me, it’s about shooting my short.
I’m extremely nervous. I’ve always had stage fright. The worst possible kind, so I’m not surprised.
Tomorrow eight people are donating their talent and time to bring a vision of mine to life. I guess I have what it takes to become a producer, after all. I mean getting people to work for free on Superbowl Sunday, uh huh!
I feel lucky tonight. I also feel proud. Several weeks ago, I realized brilliance is not just about having talent. Brilliance is about willing to see an idea you have through from beginning to end. Brilliance is about telling fear and self-doubt to shut the fuck up. Brilliance is about practicing. Over and over again.
I’ve always been an idea girl. Really, ask my friends. But now I’m idea/action girl. You know like a superhero or something.
Please send good vibes my way. I sure could use them. Pray that my skin shines, that I’m honest on camera, that I’m kind to my crew and that I beat self-doubt every second of the way.
