last spring, i agreed to shooting a short film with the intent of a 2-minute artistic passion project. it ended up being a feature length film, which we shot hastily over the summer, and i’m now left with the behemoth task of editing it, which feels like it’ll never be over. a large part of me wants to never touch this ever again but it’s not a solo project, and several other people have put the best of their artistic minds to this feature, so i feel bad not working on it as they deserve to have their work seen. honestly if i were getting paid to edit a project like this, i would want nothing less than $1000 for my time and effort, so as i write this i’ve decided to put this project fully on hold. i know that i’ll complete it in time, but i need to rekindle my passion!
a lot of people have reached out to me in the last month about doing something fun and artistic over the summer, and i’m ready to meet with these people and make some magic happen! this might look like working on music, or making another music video, or a SHORT short film, or messing with a medium i’ve never even considered. this is going to be a very fun summer for myself and i look forward to everything that’s about to happen.
i’ve been getting better at stating my boundaries and holding my own, and i know when a project becomes too big for me.
