11 DAYS LEFT TO FUND THE STICKING PLACE
To be frank, things are crazy.
This weekend, Leah, our Sticking Place star, earned a spot on the Canadian Olympic Team. I watched her wrestle from a walkway above, where I’d set up my camera to film a master-shot of the epic fight unfold between Leah and Canada’s ten-time national champion, Ohenewa. I tried to stay composed, but as my tapes will prove, I couldn’t stop from whispering under my breath and then screaming my head off as Leah fought with body, mind and soul. I talked with a man named Randy on my flight to Winnipeg before the big match. He said “My advice is love what you do, and do what you love,” and I said, “So far so good” and meant it.
Now I’m just trying to stay human in the middle of the kind of explosive personal growth that leaves organized thoughts in shatters… Making this film has stretched me wide and far. At 25 years old, I’m in the middle of a project that inspires and challenges me in a way I’ve never experienced. I’m feeling mighty tired right now, and our push to raise $20,000 on Kickstarter has another 11 days of life yet. But the world is full of good people who are willing to lend a hand, and I believe we can make it.
