Day 208: Dream Team

Day 208.

We met at Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza in Studio City.  Me, Producing Partner, Dan the Amazing Editor Man, his brother Dave, Tyler, and Josh.  A motley crew we are, but a good one, I believe.  Well, the only one I have, so as far as I’m concerned, we’re a dream team. The perfect editing team to finally finish my documentary, High School 911, after a year of production, 1200 hours of footage and five years of my life.  I have to trust that the Universe has brought me the exact mix of experience and fresh faced enthusiasm to pull it off.

My Dream Team! (no you aren’t seeing double, Dan the Amazing Editor man has a twin brother!)

I met Josh and Tyler and Dave for the first time, we talked creative, we ate pizza, Tyler got dessert because he made the longest drive (from Costa Mesa), I gave my, “come to Jesus” speech.  Just like Princess Leia in Star Wars, I pleaded with intense sincerity, “help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.”  And no matter what garbage compactor we find ourselves trapped in fighting Dianoga, we’ll find a way out, together.

Until tomorrow, create from what you have…a dream team.
