It went well!

For a first effort, it really went surprisingly well. We handed out all the scripts we brought, and many business cards, and got one firm promise of help, and another today. HUGE sigh of relief.

Wonderful Crystal did a bang-up slideshow for us, and was able to play my short film, even though I (doh!) didnt' get it to her ahead of time. And she made fabulous take-home horse cookies that everyone commented on. Jules was a total darling, creating piles of paperwork, scripts, business cards, and many other necessaries. Laura rocked my world as a poised and generous spokeswoman, praising me and setting up the script perfectly. Tamia was there, looking gorgeous in black and red cowboy boots, and being the artistic light of the party. She brought her beloved, John, whom I forgot to brag on. Charity was poised and perfect. Lila and Duncan did the gussied-up schmoozing thing, and passed out scripts with a smile. Bill totally charmed everyone in sight, as ever, bless him. One of our benefactresses was the perfect audience, asking just the right questions. My Mom came and was very moved by all the slides of Orcas, praising my photography, and our presentation.

Our team rocked.

Now, we wait to see if they like the script, and if the Canadian producer liked it, and if the Big Deal Hollywood producer likes it . . .

All digits crossed.

I have a lot to be thankful for tomorrow for Thanksgiving.

Thank God for supportive friends.
