We have lift off!
I am so energized by being able to focus all the ideas, planning, info and stored momentum on Jon and Liz. These forces have been gathering in luke warm storage for a year while the search was on. I should probably trot instead of gallop with all my emails and topic broaching so as not to scare them. I've already begun venue outreach, artist negotiations and talk of setting the date. It looks like it will be 6-8 months from now. May/June/July, 2011... All music to my ears. I'll give them a couple days to rest and eat turkey...or tofurkey. We meet Sunday with Amy the film editor to shape their interview - which will then be posted on this site, and given to the artists to muse on. I want, where applicable, for each artist to make their work specifically for Jon and Liz, so I want to give the artists as much information as possible to motivate their work.
I'll start taking my camera to all of our meetings so as to create a solid visual diary of this adventure. I may film the visits...but maybe that's overdoing it a bit.
