We did it!

A little over a month ago, our team assembled to make FLY AWAY and fly we did! In just 14 days, each 12 hours long, we made something pretty special. The performances were dazzling, our brilliant cinematographer shot gorgeous footage, the cracker jack crew pulled rabbit after rabbit out of their illustrious hats and we got ourselves a movie! As Beth Broderick herself said (who has been on hundreds -- if not a thousand -- movie and television shows, and worked with that many crews), ours was one of the very best. The shoot was focused, intense, but happy. The only drama was on the screen! And after it was over, we all still liked each other! Well enough to hang out for hours after wrapping out of my back yard, over pizza, beer and fabulous champagne provided by our big hearted Associate Producer, John Yonover. John and his son, Matt (by the way, it was a requirement to either be named or related to someone named Matt to work on our film; we counted 6 of them on our crew!) flew in from Chicago, did great work as extras in our restaurant scene, and shared their generosity all day long. So now into the editing room! More updates soon. And thanks to each one of you for all your support.
Yours,
Janet
