keeping

Today we finished shooting for the short.  It was mostly guerrilla shooting at Trader Joe’s, Target and Best Buy.  My costar felt like a rebel shooting without permits and all.  The day ended with me in the bathtub and I learned one thing… I hate baths.. and I’m not one of those girls that looks sexy in one.  Funny, yes.  Sexy, no. 

There is more work to do, of course.  Editing and what not, but we did it.  We shot a short. And probably at a very stressful time in my life.  The goal of this project was to finish a creative idea.  To tell a story.  And I can see the finish line.  I really want to quit a million times.  But what I’m learning in life is that it takes great strength to see things through even when you don’t “feel” like it.  

Art and life are messy.  The romance in living both is keeping on when it feels the ickiest. Keeping on.
