An amazing week has just ended. I can only call it the blessing of being In Good Company. First, his Holiness came to the East Coast and New York City where I live and work kept its cool through traffic tie-ups, large crowds and tight security measures. Everyone was on the same page. I also became an official member of a Manhattan co-working space for women this past week. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity for a desk outside of my home office, networking and conference room availability for the occasional meeting that must impress. Please email me here for details if you are interested. Women-only, please. Third, I had an amazing meeting about my first narrative microbudget feature in production for next summer. This is only possible because an angel came on board an offered the following: "I'd like to help you on your next film. Here's what I can do." What he is doing is making it happen and I could not be more grateful. When you spend your entire life committed to your craft--and all of the sacrifices that are involved--you hope someone notices. It feels like God always has. And for this and the people with whom he has me surrounded, I am truly grateful.
