It's done. Well not really, technically I still have one more blog post after this. But the time has come to reflect on my project. I'm not just here to reflect on my project. I'm here to reflect on my life. I have come a really long way since I looked like this.
In all seriousness, this project changed me for the better. Not once in my entire life did I see myself making a "film opening" that I was sincerely proud of and happy with. The skills I learned and knowledge I obtained in just the past 2 months will stay with me forever. I now have another way to exercise my creativity and challenge myself when life feels dull.
I would be lying if I said the entire project was always unicorns and rainbows. I encountered many difficulties that I have documented right here on this blog that were the cause for stress and long nights. From communication errors with actors, to difficulties in editing, to incredibly awful time management sometimes, this project did not leave me untested.
However, I would also be lying if I said I didn't wind up appreciating and enjoying every second of this project in the end. It just goes to show that hard work pays off. No matter what score I get, I proved to myself that I have the discipline to do a lot more than I had imagined if I put my mind to it.
I also taught myself not to be afraid of taking risks. It could be very possible that my partner and I offend the wrong people with the representation of Christianity in our film, having both positive and negative effects on the lives of the main characters. However, we are proud of what we have accomplished, and it is by no means intended to offend or attack anyone or anything. As I stated on previous postings, the film is simply just an extrapolation of the observations and ideas shared by me and JD.
In short, thank you. To myself, my partner, and whoever is reading this for this opportunity.
