I’ve officially been named a co-producer of The Sundowner, which is terrifying, flattering, and exciting. We are in the final final stages of production, now.  Although I’ve been on the sidelines of this project, giving informal feedback and helping out with transcripts and whatnot for almost a year, only at the time of extreme procrastination am I offered a credit.  It makes sense, though, as I’m older than both the primary filmmakers and have many more years experience finishing projects in a tight crunch.  It took me about three hours while simultaneously working my desk job to complete a task that should have been done weeks ago.  Not to brag or anything! :) The next few posts will explain a bit more of what this short documentary is about, and about the impact Jon (the doc’s subject) has directly had on my life and, most importantly, my decision to quit my job.  I should have them up in the next day or so.  I don’t have that many pictures, so y’all will have to deal with the screenshots I already have.  An early cut of the film is available (highly inferior cut, with temporary music and only coming in at about 12 minutes, but it was still good enough to win an award) if anyone is interested in viewing it. Now, back to the desk job for a few hours.
