March 9th
March 9th is the day this three year project comes to a head! I spoke on my last post of the conflicting feelings I’ve had on the impending release of Attacking Life but since announcing our partnership with Stan and now the release of the official trailer I have decided that I simply want to be in the moment and experience things as they come.
This isn’t something I could do if I didn’t have the support of everyone around me who’s not only made the film come to life but has kept me on track personally. When I set out to make this film with Sam I had no idea where it would lead and the fact that we’re here only days before it’s put out into the world leaves me feeling a surreal sense of anxiety and pride.
The next week will no doubt be full of more of those same feelings but there’s a huge part of me that is enormously grateful for whatever path is in front of us. I find myself repeatedly going back to a thought that drives and grounds me every single day which is that if everything I do is only to help one person, than it’s all worth it. And I think it will be important to keep coming back to that thought especially when I know that the opportunity that’s in front of me can obviously have a far greater reach.
Maybe after March 9 I’ll have some time to reflect on all of these feelings but for now all I can say is that there is finally an end in sight and I’m incredibly excited to be in the moment and experience what comes next.
