Chapter 11 of my Indie-Film Journal A Virus Ate My Movie!
It’s not the last chapter but in real time I’m writing this last.
The rest of the book is done. All chapters in.
This remains.
I wonder if subconsciously I’ve pushed this part off because it’s the deepest emotionally.
Let’s do a quick recap:
- Sept. 2018: Filming begins
- Awesome contacts from Ken in Felton led to interviews I didn’t expect.
- Christmas: A great trailer!
- January: An ill-advised crowdfunding campaign at least yields an associate producer.
- Also in January, a new job and a new apartment.
- February: Riding with and meeting Martin, Eddie and the guys at HB.
- March: Laid off.
- March: Finally get to interview Bob Haro.
- Eight bikes total and a new wrinkle via Rich Bartlett and Shag.
- April: Head to Daytona Beach 100% on faith.
