Rocketing Through Time

    
         I know it's a cliché, but time really does fly. If you took this day one year ago, I was riding a bus back and forth from the West Side to Johnson City to SUNY BU, all of my free daylight hours being spend in a dilapidated studio space, working on my first ever art installation, and the first project I really put 100% into. I would have worked at night too, but my studio space had no lights, but hey, I was allowed to work there for free.
       The point I'm trying to make with this story, though, is that I hadn't even begun drafting up the fundraising campaign that took every bit of motivation and drive I had for most of the summer. At this time last year I had absolutely no concept of how hard I would be working on this project, and I thought my installation project was the most intensely creative event I would be involved in for a whole.
                               MIND BLOWN.

        So yeah, a lot has been happening since I last posted. Restaurant Week was extremely busy for me, I didn't get all the footage I wanted to get, because I was too busy filming restaurants themselves, and delegating didn't work out too well, so that was frustration, and on top of all that I was very sick.
        Since then I have finished a rough edit of the major Restaurant Week scene, and sent it to Christine for musical brainstorming. She has been sending me a lot of samples and they're honestly impressive, can't wait to hear the finished soundtrack.
        I'm about half way done with some rough edits of minor scenes revolving around the renovation of Zona, so that's good.

        Now that Spring has sprung I will be busy documenting the VINES planting and growing season, their youth employment program, and all of the awesome warm-weather events hosted in this city. I'll be busy busy busy, but I'm still on tract to be done shooting and editing in the Fall.

        I hadn't quite realized how the winter was weighing on me until spring showed up, but my hope and creativity has been revitalized.
