When It Rains, It Pours....and then Crickets....& so on....

Such is the life of being a thriving person in the arts. I'm finding myself incredibly slammed lately, out of no where. And then I'll have moments when its REALLY quiet - and that's usually when I go off and create something (hello? like a solo show --) to give me some satisfaction and to keep me sane.

Our apt has turned into quite the creative hub! This happened during my "blogging break," but we shot another short film...this one we are strictly producing...which was hard on both me and my husband. We're not used to purely producing. It was a lesson in humility. It was hard to sit back and watch someone else direct, someone else act. But, I kept telling myself: this is a really good film with a phenominal cast (one being Oscar nominated)...so in the long run its worth it for our production company. And who's complaining? It was a great opportunity and a great experience. (oh, except for THAT one person on set who drives everyone nuts!! but otherwise, the cast and crew were amazing!!) ;0)

So these days, the husband is now editing that film out of our home.....I am madly at work on my solo piece....which has taught me so many lessons in patience, trust, humility....oh and did I mention patience? ....and keeping my faith. We have an assistant who comes over almost every day and she's awesome - and she helps us with all our projects and we basically just enjoy having her around.....its a great working vibe --

And I know, that of course, the crickets will come again -- they just do. But I've been doing this long enough to know that its all like water - it ebbs and flows - the tide rushes in....and then it pulls back again.....

And I am so grateful for the rain and then the crickets....although I do PREFER the rain, I must admit. :) :) :)
