Ties That Bind

This past weekend, I worked on the 48 Hour Film Project as part of the crew of a great friend and talented filmmaker, Nelson Nunez’s. It was the first time since losing Calvin that I’ve really been able to fully put myself into the work I was doing.

I didn’t feel alienated like I usually do when surrounded by other people. I didn’t want to leave and just be home alone with Louie and what we have of Calvin Phoenix. There was just such an energy and sense that all of us (22 crew members plus 5 actors on Saturday) together, that each of us apart, were moving towards the same goal, the same desire, that I didn’t feel lost being around these people. And I am so thankful for that – for each person’s lack of selfishness. It makes the title of our movie “Ties that Bind” appropriate on so many levels.
