Full Circle

I have made reference a few times around here to a project I was in the midst of that was eating up a ton of my time. A project that took me to New York City a few times last year, and a project that taught me a lot about how much I can do on my own. I was nervous about posting the final result here, because I always get the feeling that people are like... who cares!!! Hurry up and get Cole pregnant again, geez! But Cole knows how much this video means to me, and she said, "you better put that up on your blog and stop worrying about what other people think!" And so I listened.

I don't know if anyone remembers me posting about Guido Palau before... but the story goes, I had the pleasure of hearing him speak at an event, he was a huge inspiration at a critical time in my life, and a year later I found myself making a film about him. My attraction to making the piece and getting to know the man, was that I was fascinated with how stunned he had been by his own rise to the top of his field, and that through it all he stayed grounded and didn't lose himself. He had that thing that I can so identify with, where you're just never quite satisfied with your work, you can always do just a little bit better. I know how much torture that can be...

This piece is my first step into the world of fashion, and I was happy with what I found there. Making this really solidified that I wanted to keep working on moving pictures, and I enjoy the process of telling stories so much. I'm hooked.

Cole and I are off to SLC today and beyond the fabulousness of Alt Summit, I am just so excited to be able to sit around with friends and laugh. Alt can be as non-stop as you want it to be, and my plan is to definitely take it slow and make the most of my time, and also to just enjoy having Cole near me so many days in a row. Who knows, 6 days with no kids, where we can do whatever we want and just be a couple, sounds like a recipe for more children :)
