Hiatus for the Blog

This is post number 501, and it feels like a good time for the A Life’s Work blog to go on a hiatus. No no, don’t cry. It’s going to be okay…

For four years and eight months there were an average of two posts a week. The last six months production dropped to half that. And right now, I feel like I’ve said all I can about the process of making A Life’s Work. Right now I need to devote more time to finishing the film and less time to blogging about finishing the film.

I’m not exactly sure what this hiatus will look like. I’m thinking when there’s something new to report, I’ll write about it, so every once whenever, the blog will stir.

And in the coming months there will be things to report, make no mistake. The edit is getting very close. There is most likely a residency in my future. Declaring “locked picture” will be a huge step and you can be sure I’ll write about that. As well as about the real post/finishing stuff (sound mixing, color correcting), and working with the composer. There may be a crowdfunding effort, and if that happens there will begging on the blog, or blegging. And then there’s getting the film out there, and and and… So this isn’t the last word about A Life’s Work. As my father would have said, “You can bet on that.”

I want to thank you all for reading, for commenting, for sharing, for liking. A special thanks to all the folks who went that extra mile and were guest bloggers, agreed to be interviewed, and conducted interviews on the blog’s behalf. All of you folks have been amazing.

If you’re a regular reader who hasn’t subscribed, now might be a good time to do so, that way you won’t miss any upcoming posts.

If you’re new here, feel free to poke around, contact me ( d a v i d {at] b l o o d o r a n g e f I l m s (d o t} c o m  ). If you want to write a guest post, drop me a line. I’d like to have more of that on the blog and am open to all sorts of things — photos, art, nonfiction, fiction, poetry. Just drop me a line and we’ll work it out.

If you haven’t liked the film on Facebook, now might be a good time to do that, too. I hope to feed that page with more stills, videos, words, links, etc.

And of course, you can always support the film financially and emotionally.

Thanks again.

Until soon.
