Tonight I’m screening a double feature for the cast and crew - of both “Meet the Mayfarers” and my feature film, “The Wayfarers.” I’m excited to see so many friends I’ve made over the past few years with these projects. On both ventures, the cast and crew bonded together and became like a family.

On “The Wayfarers” it was over the course of a compressed focused period of time. A time where all of us lived in a seaside village, on a kind of film making vacation. On “Meet the Mayfarers” it was over the course of a year and a half, as we would gather together for fun weekends of shooting, an island of joy in our schedules where we could hang out and have a blast.

I think to an anecdote I heard about a filmmaker who is known for his semi-low budget movies. He met with a producer who kept telling him to hire all these other “professional” people. To which he replied, “If you’re not working with your friends, what’s the point?”

Well said.

I’m really looking forward to the screenings tonight. A great time to catch up with friends, reminisce about old times, and plan for future film making adventures.
