Gail !!!  Good for you!!  [Both!]

So cool!  Let me congratulate you and send good luck wishes on what 
sounds like such a convivial and rewarding project for you and your 
aspiring film making friend!!  Ok... I'm also nosy and want DETAILS!  Ha!

Trust me...  As part-time guru to my son who's on a vision quest for 
recognition as a musician-songwriter, I know the hope, fears and angst 
these young seekers must feel.  It ain't easy!  But, aside from that, I'm 
so pleased to see many such 'youngsters' recognizing their 'roots', be 
they personal or symbolic, and trying selflessly to incorporate them into 
their projects, and essentially, into their lives.
