Last week, Jeff and I sent a 4-minute trailer to the Paralyzed Veterans of America. This is the first time our source of funding has seen any footage from the project. In retrospect, we probably should have sent them some clips sooner. The trailer turned out really well and the response back was overwhelmingly positive. So now we continue assembling "Continue" for its January 30th deadline.
I'm hoping to have the entire 22-minute cut assembled by the first week in January. This will involve taking some time off from my "real" job so that I can get into the zone. I wonder if editing is like professional cycling. I've been doing a lot of it and it certainly feels like a marathon. Maybe my heart size will increase as a result of all the time and labor, just like Lance Armstrong. Oh well, if not literally, certainly figuratively. Watching my peers engage in the activities that they love has certainly filled my heart with an overwhelming sense of emotion. Or maybe that's just a side effect of editing until 3:00 AM. It's so nice to know that life goes on despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles. I hope this project can demonstrate that to those who have just experienced a spinal cord injury.
More to come...

sweet!! when are you going to show your cronies who work for you? maybe some good motivation for editing drawn out projects, ahem, for people that work for the emergency department, ahem...
looking forward to the final cut!
This is such a remarkable project and I can't imagine how satisfying it will be to see it done and share it!
