Status: Fishing in the Ocean of Possibilities

miracatabey, July 13, 2025June 7, 2026

I am entering the production phase of my current film project, Marriage A-la-Mode. This is the busiest period for me, so I won’t be able to share my rare thoughts with you for a month or two. I am sure you have no such expectation or concern anyway, but I need to leave this note here for future film historians: I keep rolling.
