Thoughts on the Facade

---

I sit and look at the physical reminder of the things we've accomplished over the last 2 years. It's just a piece of paper with an image on it but it's the facade of my creative life and somehow a reminder that this is real. Developing scripts and characters, research both online and at events, production meetings, other meetings, finding crew members, creating web-sites and newsletters, correspondence, planning fundraisers, shooting and editing our promo video, fundraising video and poster images... Many many hours have gone into this... And here we are ready to go to our second convention this year. It feels like just the beginning of a lonnnnng process. And it is. The 5 minute short took me 3 years from beginning to uploading to youtube (finish)....  But if we do this live performance right at DomCon there's a possibility of being invited to Vegas with our live act in January of next year to be a part of the Award show activities. That's exciting! Who knew the possibility of the AVN awards could be in our future? What a weird existence.  I notice that the more we put into this the more support I find that we have. It's a great feeling :)   I would like to have our series shot by the time we go to Vegas- Do you hear me out there, Universe? But up next, we've got fundraising for the pilot and I feel as if I'm flinging myself into the unknown again and relying on strangers and friends and acquaintances to help me out. I think that's always what filmmaking feels like. It's like stepping out and not knowing what will happen or when it will happen and my job is to just continue showing up and asking for what we need to fulfill the vision set forth. So, facade, thank you for reminding me of the constant progress we're making.  - Aurora
