COMMENT

I caved.

After 9 years of trying to learn complicated software, money issues, technical glitches, people asking "whatever happened to that film you made?", people not asking because I said "When I'm done, you'll know!", feeling guilty, trying to be positive, wondering what the hell is WRONG with me, all while running an entire online business by myself and being the sole caretaker of a dog... I finally gave up the idea that I could edit my 35mm short film by myself.

So I called in a pro.

I'm now working with a real live experienced editor and we have 98% of the picture done and are starting to conform the audio.

I see daylight.
