It’s been over 10 days since my last post and always feel awful when the blog sits here quietly for that long. I guess I’ve been in a bit of a mood the last week and every time I sat down to write something… I just kinda’ blanked out. “Why is that?”, you might be wondering. I think it had something to do with where I’m at in writing the script recently – I’ve come to a point where I need to find a way to say what the trip means to the people in our film. That might seem like an easy’ish thing to do… but I’ve been trying to find the words of how to express my own bike trip for the last 6 years… I’ve never been happy with anything that I’ve come up with. But it’s time for me to make a decision on that – I can’t let the film collect dust forever just because I’m lacking the perfect way to express something. It’s become a fight of what needs to be said and what should left for interpretation. It’s slowed me down… and that always leaves me down. But – moving on: tomorrow Babelgum will announce it’s winners in the film competition. It’s been nerve-racking this last month waiting for the final results… especially considering we reached this point last year in the competition. Regardless though of what happens tomorrow I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone again for all their support and votes – we couldn’t have been finalist the last two years without you. Keep your fingers crossed for us tomorrow – and keep an eye our twitter accounts (@Pedal, @Manda, @FToM) for word on Babelgum! And before I go – I know I’ve been jumping all over the place in this post – I wanted to mention the virtual panel discussion happening on the New Breed Workbook Project. I did a video-response with my perspective on film festivals. If you have any thoughts be sure to drop by and join the panel.
