Giving it a try
I never knew what a "blog" was until these past 5 minutes that i set this up. I have not yet decided if it's any different than a message board (which we already have on the site and may prompt people to say "Dellecese, why do you have both?" To Those people i say: "I don't know.")
If this blog-trend continues, I think it will probably lend itself to more personal, inside thoughts, info, etc, on events, projects, and the overall process of things. We'll see how it goes.
We are one week away from the World Premiere of The Death of Daniel Whately. It should be a blast. Very much looking forward to it.
Sadly, there is one person who can not be with us for this celebration. This week we lost someone who not only was a huge supporter of CYB Productions from its very inception, but was a mentor, teacher, and above all else, a friend to me for many years. Bill Parker. Bill was an audio-visual technician who took me under his wing when I was in high school and gave me the foundations of my education in film/tv and editing. He's watched me evolve from some high school kid with a bunch of footage shot on a home video camera to the filmmaker and person I am today. He taught me to never allow myself to be hindered by lack of funding, equipment, technology, or resources, but to use those limitations in a unique and unexpected way...that the only limits were not monetary...but one's imagination. It is a lesson that has and will continue to serve me well over the years. Those of you who did not have the privelage of knowing Bill would recognize him in the few cameos he graciously did as the older man in the bar in Detour, as well as the voice of Kyle's Dad, along with the Strip Club Manager in the upcoming "Whately". He was a wonderful man who had a wicked and sarcastic sense of humor that always made it that much more fun to learn from him or just to chat with him.
Bill was very much looking forward to the premiere, and was so incredibly proud of how far we had come when I showed him a few rough cut scenes from the film. He couldn't wait to see the final product.
He touched many people's lives, and will never be forgotten. He will, however, very much be missed.
