It's almost surreal to me, from this years-later point-of-view, that I've had the amazing privilege of being in these movies. I read the reviews, and your books about filmmaking, and I have to pinch myself: "Wow!! I got to do this! I got to experience that level of creativity and improvisation and just plain fun. Wow!!" Then you get busy in the editing room and awhile later John B. and I and the other players get to see ourselves in a feature film. I am so grateful.
I no more understand how these movie-making creations happen than you do, Steve, and yes, I often edit the results of what's shot, but I also, when revisiting them, can be surprised that they exist. I'm certainly in awe of what you've created with your improv abilities (like in Chetzemoka's Curse scene when you say, "People will think I'm your dad," and how Maya/Marie answers, and the rest--pure moviemaking gold!). Thank you again!
