Hey all,
Well for those of you who know me (which is....well....none of you I guess), I typically get depressed after a show ends. And I'm fighting it pretty hard after this one because I really loved it. I believed in the script, crew, and cast thoroughly and my belief was not misplaced. I can't tell you what a joy it was working with all of you and I am constantly telling people about this film and how impressed I have been with everyone involved. I even called out my stage show cast the other night at rehearsal. They have all been so whiny and premadonna-esque that I finally said, "You know, this cast keeps whining it's ass off, but I just got done doing a film where we had infinitely more room to complain and we didn't. We were tired, dirty, wet, cold, frustrated, and we held it together. I miss my film cast."
I'm sorry for being such a pest. I try to keep levity in order to lower tension, but I know that I get carried away. And I know that there were already people present that don't like me, so I should've used more discretion and kept my mouth shut. I'm a ham, what can I say?
Tony, do NOT feel like you were being a jerk. You had every reason to lose it, but trust me, compared to other directors I've worked with you were an absolute angel. I've worked with directors that will throw things at you if you make a mis-step in blocking, you were great. I don't know if you are a religious person, but for what it's worth, I'm praying for you, your daughter, and the rest of your family.
Thank you all for your hard work, and letting me be a part of this. I love you all and wish you the best. Later.
