Although the feature Iris is far from being ready for a theatrical stint, we are wrapped and WHOAAAAAAA, what an experience !! I'd like to say it was all roses & orgasms but anyone who does what I do knows that this is not how making art works. Especially such an elaborate collaborative piece. Suffice to say (and I will spare everyone with the blood, sweat & tears cliche and cut to the chase) I am happy with what we've accomplished. I've actually successfully detoxed from the worst of it (I know, a luxury problem) and am now going through slight withdrawals from the familial bond that was created during the shoot. I did get off. Several times. And now...
.. I must do what every filmmaker whose heart can be found in the can alongside miles of painstaking footage must do, pursue the next project. Not that my time with Iris is over. Oh it by no means is. And I look forward to taking part in every step of the arduous and gratifying post production process. However now I must pound the pavement. Return to the hustle. Because somewhere out there is the guy, who knows the girl, who knows the people, who have the means to spark a new beginning. And to breathe life into something beautiful, that will effectively manipulate people's emotions, no matter how, is the goal, of any artist.
