Mixed.
Over the years, I’ve considered the idea of exploring a story I’ve heard, in film. I’ve held mixed feelings about it, but I believe that since there’s interest from other parties now, perhaps we can do it justice.
The concern I’ve felt, is the story being manipulated into something it’s not. Missing the mark or someone with creative control adjusting it in a way that the essence is removed.
Thankfully, the source of this story lies with my best friend. The truths, the details, the memories, all rich and with complete compassion.
Now that an initial agreement is in place, I believe that a real opportunity exists here, to create a film that’s wonderful, true to the individual it is about and what she stood for. To immortalize a story of this nature, on film, breathes new energy into my body.
I’m excited.
