SHORT SYNOPSISI MADE THIS FILM NOT ONLY FOR ME, BUT FOR MY SON, JACK.
MY JOB AS A DIRECTOR IS TO DREAM, WHETHER ON A GRAND SCALE OR AT TIMES REFRAINED.
HOWEVER, BEING PREGNANT AND HAVING AN INFANT IN THIS BUSINESS IS CHALLENGING. THERE’S A SENSE OF STRUGGLE AND GUILT TO CONSTANTLY CREATE, AND TO ALSO FEEL LIKE YOU’RE BEING A GREAT MOTHER. YOU FEEL A LOSS OF CONTROL, A LOSS OF SELF, AND AT TIMES A LOSS OF CREATIVITY.
YET, I WATCH YOU GROW EVERY MONTH, AND AS THE WORLD SLOWLY COMES INTO FOCUS FOR YOU- I WITNESS YOU LOOKING AT THINGS FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT WE ALL TAKE FOR GRANTED.
TO BE MESMERIZED BY THE FEELING OF A LEAF, OR THE WAY IN WHICH YOU CAN NOW CONTROL YOUR HANDS, TO LAUGHING IN STITCHES BY THE GARDEN HOSE- I’M PRIVY TO AN ENTIRELY NEW WORLD OF CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION, AND ULTIMATELY, IN A WAY- HAS INSPIRED ME TO KEEP IMAGINING IN NEW WAYS.
I NEVER WANT YOU TO STOP DREAMING, WHETHER IT’S TO BECOME AN ASTRONAUT OR EVEN A DELIVERY DRIVER- I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY, THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER MY LOVE, NEVER STOP DREAMING.
