May 20th: California, Day 14

It's the end of day 14, and we are actually still in Arizona. We slept in until 0700 today and after a quick breakfast, we went to work on the computers. We spent all day editing, and we now have a great set of clips that we can use for submission to grant programs, including the upcoming Independent Film Week Spotlight on Documentaries, which is run by our fiscal sponsors, the Independent Feature Project (www.ifp.org). Editing is grueling work-- we have gone non-stop for 17 hours, but we got done what we needed to get done.

We will be done on the west coast soon, and although we have been here only a few weeks, it feels like forever. Adam found out today that his youngest daughter took her first steps while he was here helping us on the film. His wife sent him pictures. Brian's son began crawling, and he is already trying to walk. While we all feel that this project is incredibly important, these two guys and their families are really sacrificing a lot to make sure the film is made and the story of The Chosin Few is told. But if we don't do it, who will?

It's now 0151. Brian and Adam have been racked out for about an hour, and we all need to get up at 0330 for a 5-hour drive into Los Angeles for a couple of meetings. It never stops, and I wouldn't want it to. Time for a quick nap.
