We had no fun at @salute_shorts. First outtakes from my portrait studio backstage. I got two of my favorite compliments, btw. I’m not one to toot my own horn, but these I like: “You are a VERY PROFESSIONAL WOMAN!!!” - exclaimed by an enthusiastic @brittanymascio. Thank you for the endorsement 😁🤗 it may end up on my QR code, you’re right. You’ll be shown here soon, too. And, from my better half @teejatron (who assisted me). On the drive home, he said, “I just watched 20 years of experience play out in two and half hours of rapid fire through an assembly line of every personality possible.” I think there were probably some F-bombs in there and may not be totally verbatim, but I *think* I got it 99% right, but you let me know if I’ve misquoted you. Means a lot sweetums- after all these years, I’m really glad it still shows that I love what I do😅 It was my pleasure meeting all you fellow filmmakers and getting to spend a few minutes of getting weird and lettin’ loose. Thank you to @elleshaw7, my dear friend, who asked me if I could be involved. And, of course @erinbrownthomas_filmmaker and all the wonderful Salute Your Shorts Film Festival programmers and volunteers who made it happen! Thanks also to @assistanceleaguetheatre for your beautiful space.
