We wrapped production on "A Glimpse of the Soul" almost a week and a half ago. It was a spectacular shoot, full of the sorts of surprises a director can only dream of: shots that made me jump for joy, performances that made the crew shed tears, days when we were so far ahead of schedule that we could add entire pages to our afternoons without going overtime.
But now, we've wrapped, everyone has gone on to other things, and the footage is on its way to the editors to get (further) transformed in to a movie. I've been trying to take it easy, to 'recover' a little from the bustle of production, but the momentum feels too good. I've got to get back in to a director's chair soon.
I've talked to some friends about pulling a couple of shorts together, just for fun, and I'm working to build up momentum again for an old project that hasn't moved much in a while. I might step in to AD another sci-fi feature in a few months, and I've thrown my hat in to the ring for another feature directing gig... but of all these irons in the fire, there's simply no way to know which will heat up first.
I like this period of time, just after a big project wraps. When I reach out to people about new projects, I get to lead my emails with "I just wrapped a feature film!" It feels very validating.
