Farewells

I didn't think ending this project would be so emotional. I have never been upset to finish a project, only excited that its over. While I am thrilled to finally show everyone my production, I am more excited for everyone else to see it than I am to let it go. After working on something for over seven weeks and seeing all of your visions become implemented and get created, you grow a serious attachment to it all, one that is harder to let go than you would have imagined. 

It's probably so difficult because I had so much fun creating all of it and working with one of my best friends Asher throughout the entire process. He was absolutely amazing to collaborate with. Not once did we fight or stay in a deadlock; we figured everything out and compromised. It was so refreshing not to stress over what someone else might think or say, or whether or not he or she dislikes it and puts your idea down. Asher and I had complete and utter trust in one another and felt 100% comfortable sharing or voicing any opinion or idea. Sure, did we not agree on somethings, but it never once turned into a fight and it ended up with us agreeing with whatever we were discussing. Asher and I got so much closer by doing this project than I would have even imagined. The project being over just symbolizes the many more things coming to an end at a very rapid pace. 

It was also such a joy to work with Megan. She was a great sport about anything. She did not care what we told her, as an amazing actress that she is, she did whatever we needed without hesitation. She made the time for us because she was contributed and appreciating art and the media. I also got much closer to her, and I feel like I know her and Nora separately, it's crazy. Nora became real to me and Asher and we referred to her like she is somebody that we actually know. We started this whole project by creating her first and we formed new ideas based off of who we made her, her characteristics and her personality. I've watched interviews with directors, producers, and actors before and always found it strange when they talk about the characters like they know them in real life. They refer to their struggles and hardships like it's their own and they talk about them like they are in another room. This project made me understand why. They have become so passionate about their ideas, that they tell the stories with such passion because they have become emotionally involved, just like Asher and I did with Nora. 

I was severely attached to Decadence, my food magazine last year, and didn't want to let it go. Well, it has happened again. This project has become my baby yet again and it's time to say goodbye. However, we are very excited now to finally be able to show off what we made and receive our peers feedback. 

Asher and I are very proud of what we created and no matter what anyone tells us, we know how hard we worked and how much effort we put into making it, and that's all that really matters in the end. I hope that everyone appreciates and respects the work we have put in and ultimately, I hope that you all love our products. 

Thanks for making this process so enjoyable to document and record. 

With much love,
