This week, for example, I've got A LOT going on:
Scene study with Terry Schreiber at Terry Schreiber Studios, Arts and Entertainment Board of Schenectady Board Meeting, pre-production meetings for the September shoot of my next short film, HER TELLING HEART, and a screening of my MPI thesis film, A FORK IN THE ROAD at Symphony Space in NYC as an official part of the shorts program for the Manhattan Film Festival.
Of course, trying to juggle it all on a freelancer's budget -- that's another thing altogether.
And then, in the midst of writing this blog, I receive my morning quote from Bongo Productions on facebook:
"He is able who thinks he is able." Buddha
Thus, I view at all the challenges, financial, spacial and time-wise as such -- look at what I am able to do on a shoe-string budget, with only 24 hours in the day, spread out between Upstate, NY, NYC and Michigan (what I call my posse' triangle) and image the possibilities when I'm in the position to take the next step!
According to Buddha, the first step is opening my self up to being able to believe that I'm able. Combine that with Einstein's Theory of Relativity, and all I need to do is close my eyes, think happy thoughts, and push on through toward next week.
The short, written, produced and directed by Heidi Philipsen, which features acclaimed Michigan actors, Grant Krause, Barbara Coven, Matt Andersen and Shelby Howe, will be screening on Thursday, July 22nd, at 7:45 p.m..
All Manhattan Film Festival screenings are to take place at Symphony Space on the upper West Side of Manhattan.
