As of today, I am still trying to get a clarification on proceeding with a project for this course. The project is the first St Petersburg annual amateur film festival. The two formats will be education films that could be used as working tools in classroom instruction from K1 through higher education the second format will be of an open theme from animation to any form of artistic film endeavor. I will know if this is a go-ahead project and if so I could use some support in publicity writing and venues.
Above all this, I received a call from a long time dear friend of mine who has been going through a child visitation hearing for the past five years with his ex-wife only to find out through DNA testing that it is not his child. Over many days, and many hours on the phone going from pain, and anger to frustration, and remorse to ultimately realizing that he has been the father over these past 12 years, and no matter this is and will always be his son. I must say I was lost for words of wisdom in my consoling presence, as I could not put into words the emotional trauma that was being experienced, so I am thankful my friend was able to resolve it on his own by using me as his sounding board.
On an up note I attended the first annual City of Writers function at Studio 620 last week, and was overwhelmed with the talent that I was subjected to, it was truly an enlightening experience and one that I look forward to involving myself with in the future.
So long for now… until we meet again...
