When I was young my father and I would fish in Burrows Bay, halfway between Biz Point and Allen Island. In August, Orca whales would loop thru the bay following the migrating salmon, back when the waters were rich with them. Sometimes the Orcas would surface not ten feet from our boat, giant dorsals knifing in and out of the water with a gentle splash. Sometimes you'd just look down and see an immense shadow, darker than the dark water, slowly pass beneath you. Sitting in a 12 foot skiff watching a twenty-five foot Orca pass underneath put you in your place. You knew that forces larger than yourself had simply passed by and chosen to ignore you. That you had been spared.

What is the true cost of making this movie? The hard numbers are easier to gauge: We’re running about $88,000 for a ‘finished’ feature. But that doesn’t include our festival run or sales agents or lawyers or not paying yourself or All The Other Things that speed bump your momentum and suck your wallet drier than dry. We’re about $120K in the hole right now with little hope of breaking even for at least a decade. So, what did we buy?

Right on cue the transmission on my car shit the bed. It’s a twelve year old Honda Accord with 156,599 miles on it (Not quite to the moon…) so, yeah, these things happen. Get a new car, right? Sounds good, except for one little problem. It’s the car the protagonist drives in the film and we’re not done shooting it out yet.
