Pressing ahead

Friday night was our first production meeting of the New Year. Since the launch of our fundraising campaign, everyone has been hard at work raising awareness about this film and attempting to get everyone to donate. We've had a lot of interest, but the results are not what we hoped for thus far. There was a bit of anxiety on my part going into this meeting. What is the next step? What if this project is just a sinking ship, and everyone just wants to jump off?

These thoughts ran through my mind as we waited nearly two hours to get a table at a sushi restaurant (apparently that's how long it takes to push two tables together). After ordering, we began going over our fundraising efforts and what else we can do to get this project made. It then became clear that I was working with a team that is fully intent on keeping their foot on the gas. That everyone really wants to see this project made.

Even though we're still far away from our fundraising goal. We couldn't be more positive. Everyone left the restaurant with a feeling that we will see this through to the finish. No matter what it takes, everyone will keep pressing ahead.
