We are having a gala for the feature in three weeks, and I am trying to put it together singlehandedly at this point, though several folks have said they might help out if I get it more together. Very exciting, and scary beyond belief.

What if nobody comes? What if nobody invests? We must absolutely film in May, it is the only chance to film in the islands. What if my new version of the script isn't ready?

Trying not to freak out, but to trust God. Managing it only some of the time.

People will want to invest, I keep telling myself, as I freak. They have to want to.

Pitching scripts in the morning to a new producer . . . praying it goes well . . .

And then I am filming the short next week . . . and I need to rewrite the script, everyone wants the new version . . .

I am beginning to interview for an assistant, as it is apparent that I cannot continue this way.

God be with all of this . . . if we raise enough money, we are doing this. It is getting real.
