Thanks Galen for your reflection of my movie-in-the-making. I greatly appreciate hearing your fine words, about art and life connecting in magical ways.
Thanks for that account. Doing guerilla movie production (back then) was exhilarating and exhausting all at once. I went with my buddy Keith down to Death Valley to make his UCLA film school senior thesis film (in Super 8!) It was a trip and shoot I'll never forget. I really enjoy your commentary and memory of this work.
Thanks Martin. Realizing today that I am actually missing Death Valley! Gets under one’s skin somehow. And especially Death Valley Junction where me and son Morgan got to co-produce several Feature Workshops flicks, that including Marta Becket on a few of them. Thanks again for the comment.
Imagine my surprise to get to the end of this post and see my review of one of my favorites of your books! Thank you!
And you know I have many reasons to love this quote from the beginning of the post: "Another skill-set for the indie writer, director, and/or producer is to subdue all doubts, shine with confidence, (not bullshitting yourself, but) somehow operating beyond even the most grave doubts that arise during a production." Yes!!
Thanks again Rick for reminding us that improvisation and perseverance have been lovers since the beginning of mystery.

Of course! And your great quote probably gave birth to some new artists before they even knew they were. Thanks again for those sparkly words!
