The Importance of a Good Team
Yesterday’s
post was whiney and without reason. I
took on this film as a personal task, knowing (well, almost) all the work
involved and who was responsible for most of it (me).
Making
“The Trouble with TQ” would have been impossible without supporters working
behind the scenes, making the contacts and delivering the goods. In the case of the mailing list, my biggest
supporter, my mother did most of the heavy lifting. When I asked all the logical people about TQ’s
mailing list and the possibility of getting a copy, I was met with silence over
a period of a month. My mother made some
calls and within five days, I had the list in my hand. Good looking out, Ma!
The
Advisory Board for the film is equally proactive and supportive. I have one board member setting up a meeting
with two local filmmakers with Sundance experience! Other board members have donated funds to the
film, attended screenings (at the CAMM Cine Salon), as well as various displays
of support.
So,
when I am feeling sorry for myself, I have force my focus on to the kindness of
people who believe in me and go out of their way to show it. That snaps me back in the “Worky Work, Busy
Bee” mode. With all this support behind
me, I owe it to them to make this film work.
I owe it to TQ for the fantastic gift he gave to me in the form of
access, support and encouragement for the film.
BONUS News!
After I finished retyping the list, I took a few minutes to read the paper. To my surprise, there was a short article saying Pope Benedict XVI canonized Kateri Tekakawitha. Congratulations to that parish in Poquoson. This has been a banner year for that parish. Right around the time of TQ's death, the Bishop signed the Thrift Shop over to the parish, free and clear. I will have to get some footage of TQ talking about canonization (Kateri Tekakawitha in particular). Stay tuned.
