Hey Olivia,

First off thanks, it's really nice to hear that our opinions would hold some value in the world. You've sort of hit the nail right on the had, however.

It's always been the policy of NFS that we don't have the right to judge any experience a filmmaker may have gone through to tell the story they needed to tell. Making a feature (or any kind of film) is a feat that should always be commended and who are we to judge the challenges that those involved may have faced?

We're more interested in hearing about what that filmmaker went through as a part of their experience and relaying it to you guys in a way that hopefully allows you to leave with some educational takeaways. We're talkin' nuggets that will help you avoid any mistakes they may have made when it comes time to make your own projects.

For me, learning to watch movies in this way has made the entire filmgoing experience way more valuable and enjoyable.

Hope that clears things up!

Of course, I would've liked to bring one along, unfortunately, after pushing back our shoot date we lost the production designer we had attached to our project. We hadn't found another one yet and need to get down there to make some connections and open up some doors for the locations. We now have a production designer, the locations secured and will be going down for a second scout (with a friend who owns a car!)

Thanks! A funny little follow-up to this article:

Turns out the first couple whose Airbnb thought I was John Fusco - the man who wrote "Hidalgo." http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0299301/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Only in pre-production and I'm already disappointing fans...
