Vertical Ascent

Filmmaking often feels like climbing up a mountain. It often feels like trying to scale a huge cliff on that mountain with few footholds. Sometimes you slip and dangle above the precipice, hanging on to dear life from the pick that is firmly wedged into the side. When then happens, you breathe in and out. You sweat cold. And for a moment just think to yourself "I'm done with this shit
", but never actually let go.
Being reminded that you're doing alright. That you're actually impressive. That you actually might make it by just the sheer will you have to make it, makes you feel good about life. It makes you get your feet back up against the wall and try to keep on climbing.
