Persistence of Vision: A Look Back at 2013
About a few days ago, I had watched Garret Gilchrist’s latest update of the Recobbled Cut for Richard Williams’ The Thief and the Cobbler. Having known the long and complicated history of what Mr. Williams had gone through for his film, only to have it completely stripped away from him, I began reminiscing about a good majority of my own film’s production over the course of this year.
So thus, I’m gonna be sharing a good majority of my experiences with you in light of the upcoming new year approaching. But something that I need to make apparent is that when it comes to making a film, you sacrifice lot for the sake of getting your vision out there.
A good chunk of 2013 when it came to working on Journey of the Spark was a miserable experience for me. My key reason as to why I’m writing this is because I love my fans and my crew too much. This story isn’t really here to sway you away from the film, but rather its a way for all of you to understand why this film still exists. To give you guys a good understanding of where I’m coming from with this, I have to go back to the near end of Spring going into the Summer. Because around that time period, Journey of the Spark was VERY close to shutting down completely.
I wrote this last night as a memoir for the movie’s production this year. This is a very important read to understand where I’ve been and what’s happened over the course of this year. Its been an extremely long and very hard year for all of us, but its thanks to every single one of you that we’re on our way towards making something worthwhile.
So give this a read if you can! Thank you!
