Tribeca Film Festival: $40 and a prayer

Last year, I randomly stated that I had a goal of having a movie shown in the Tribeca Film Festival. What an honor it would be. Well, like all goals, there is that first step that has to be taken. This year, with the help of an amazing cast, crew, and friends that helped out, I directed my first narrative short film, starring Nick Marshall and Melissa Fumero. I just returned from the Post Office dropping it off to be mailed to Tribeca Film Festival for the 2012 festival. Who knows where it will go from here. The mailing label saying Tribeca Film Festival might be the closest to the festival we get, that’s okay. The point of all of this is that a year ago, we set out to do something. And thanks to the combined efforts of many great friends and talent, all GIVING of their resources, those first steps were taken. I know that I learned a lot from doing this, and am already thinking and planning what to do next. If this film goes further than their screening DVD player, great. But if not – Thanks to all involved and I look forward to showing you the next film. And the next. And the next. It’s really just about making little goals, and then meeting them. Again and again. (BTW, for those concerned, postage WAS added after the taking of this photo).
