“being on the side of making them made me nervous.”

Happy to finally catch up on your newsletter—this line surprised me at first, but I get it. And I loved getting to read about the experience you had because it sounds like it was incredibly invaluable and informative. Mostly for you to connect with the magic of it all and reaffirm your longing to make a movie.

Getting to read the little details about your time on the set made me giddy, like I was there experiencing it too. Living vicariously through you!!!

“A strange melancholy filled my body wondering about all the sets I hadn’t been to, either because I was focused on another kind of career, or simply because I wasn’t born yet. “

Man, that’s such a relatable sentiment.

“what's so wrong about giving your undivided attention to something you deep down feel is what you came here to do?” Still sitting with this idea of going all in on one thing and the divided vs undivided attention dilemma.

It was indeed invaluable and informative, thank you for reading and accompanying me through this process! It's definitely enriched by having people like you that live it along with me :)

We'll get to be in many sets some day, no worries. And we'll also figure out together the "divided vs undivided attention dilemma".

Thank you Sandra!

Thank you man! I too hope to keep having them, and if not, I will try to build them myself, as you very well suggested ;)

Oscar! This is beautiful. The piece clearly transpires your enthusiasm in what was undoubtedly a wonderful experience for you. As a film non-savant, I particularly liked the second part and I think you made all these interesting practices very accessible and well conveyed. I can't wait to read more about this in your future writing. :)
