When they make the final call, "That's a wrap!" everyone involved in the making of the film has mixed feelings. Usually those feelings are a combination of elation, relief, and sadness. I know this was true for me. As a tribute to my fellow cast and crew members and to the collaborative process of it all, I wrote the following...
An idea, a character, a
journey
A writer wishes upon a
star
A director takes the wand
We all come together now
Hoping to tell a story,
Bring it to life in all
its glory
Mold a script into
something
Everyone can see—
Beauty and reality,
Emotion and heartbreak,
Moments that matter,
Opportunities that
scattered—
In dust along a gravel
road
Costumes, Construction,
Art
Locations, Casting locked,
Actors become characters,
It’s more than fiction now
Black and white we see—
The shadows and the light
Truth and human failings,
Relationships worth saving
Before
we know it,
The
journey for us ends
Now
it awaits the theater,
Awaits
the crowd,
This
film to share—
That
will make us proud
There’s
no recipe to create—
A
movie with a blessed fate
Worth
the heartache and the pain
We
did it all together
To
create this story,
Told
within the frame.
