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.

I’ve been honest about the making of this movie, possibly to my detriment. But I haven’t been totally forthcoming. Things happened. Things I can't talk about. Things that happen on lots of movies and those filmmakers don't talk about it either. They don't talk about it because of ’politics.' You hear about what happened eventually on the grapevine, or from a sound mixer, or you meet a crew member who has one two many 'help yourself' Sam Adams’ at a BBQ, or an agent brags to a client who tells his friend, or maybe your own client who just wants to let you know He's In The Know and gossips away. It's the showbiz version of "Telephone," and by the time it comes round to you you're not sure who or what to believe. The things I've heard over the years are insane and unbelievable. Some of them were criminal. Who knows if any of it was true.

But this blog is true.

So here’s what happened, to a T. Maybe someday I’ll bring it alive, maybe I won’t. But on our $88,000 movie--our little skiff, "Clocking The T"--the following was that dark shadow beneath.
