In a few days I'm going to be taking a break from this blog (and this project) for a couple of days to be with family.
Film, especially documentaries, become your life while you're working on them. So much time and energy goes into the work, and for months at a time it's the single thing you're focusing on. It's not that you don't consider how the world continues to turn, but that's something you can think about later when you're done, because the work takes precedence over everything else. Well, almost everything.
Sometimes you have put down your tools and go deal with things that don't wait, until shooting wraps. If you're lucky enough to be working with a crew and a staff who understand that certain personal priorities outweigh that of the work, then you're very fortunate indeed.
We're wrapping filming in a few weeks, but there are still some great shoots and SXSW until then, so keep reading, I'll be back soon...
