There wasn't a plan B at this point.

Every day we kept preparing as though production was actually going to happen. Every day we called SAG.

Father Theophan Warren told us something I still think about. He said Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco was good with paperwork.

So every day we asked for his intercessions.

And every day we called SAG.

Then, hours before production was supposed to begin, an email finally arrived.

Our interim agreement had been approved.

Our representative added one request, half joking. You can make this movie, but you're not making another one this year. We gladly agreed. We only ever planned to make one anyway.

Production was on.

We have something to announce on August 1st. Join the watchlis ...
