To Josh from South Africa.
We are sorry man for not keeping you all up to date for the past few months.
Maybe I’ll start with bringing you along for a day with me.
Tuesday 6:45 a.m. my daughter who is a year and a half likes to wake me up with smile.
good way to wake up.
I dial her in then head to my prized espresso machine for a quick two shot latte starter.
Back int he office around 7 for the late shift.
We have spent two years shooting the film so taking our time to get the edit right is priority.
This is my first experience editing a film.
It’s be a roller coaster of emotions.
Those are hard nights wondering if we’ll make our deadline.
This process has been some of the best times for me while making the film.
At about 2:30 a.m.
I make it to bed and with any luck my daughter will sleep in….
to like 7 or 7:30. and the day repeats.
We are very stoked with what we have on the time-line.
The editing is about 7%0 done and the end is in sight.
