Divorce Story Pilot Update

Divorce Story Pilot Update

Pilgrim Films and TV, http://www.pilgrim-films.com/, came back to the office to do some additional pick-up shots on February 3, 2007. I was able to see a little bit of the rough edit on the pilot, and it looks AMAZING! The editor has really captured the essence of mediation and family conflict, as well as the role of the mediator. He really "got it", and it shows through on the screen.

HOORAY!

I was worried that the show might depict mediation, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediation, as being all about yelling and conflict, and not about the complexities of human relationships and the grief of divorce. I was worried that the show would miss the subtleties of what a mediator does in trying to help people through their emotional turmoil while fashioning an agreement. No More Worries!

And, of course, not completely off my personal radar screen: they've expanded my role in the project, using me as a narrator to bridge the gap between different phases of the mediation. Love that. This photo is from one of the early mediation sessions, and I also like that I look great (if I do say so myself) and like I know what I'm doing. http://www.peace-talks.com/about.php

WHEW!

Now I'm so excited about this project that I could jump out of my skin!
