The Spaceship in the Garage!
Filming is set to begin soon for the latest movie, Tin Can. These days when I look in the garage, I’m just in awe of how Steve and Logan, with help from friends, built this. Feeling ill equipped to build anything and overwhelmed by the sheer size of the project, I have focused on being more of the emotional supporter and taking care of the house while Steve works on the ship. While standing on the sidelines, I also harbored worries about the financial costs of time, energy and resources. The countless hours Steve has put into the movie script and building the set is unbelievable.
The other night though I came in and watched Steve work on the UV shower and discovered that if he set me to a task, I could easily help out in some way. Watching him at work, I realized how much this project has utilized his creative energy and many other talents to build something like this.
Seeing Steve take apart a computer monitor stand and become so excited about the possibilities within the spring loaded metal contraption that emerged, I realized how much he is in his element and how much I love seeing him in his element. He is so much more fulfilled than he was just working his day job. Unlike most of us, he has found a way to not sacrifice his creativity and passion to work. This is worth more than a thousand translation jobs.
The spaceship is the other baby in the works right now and we are feeling the pressure that comes from working non-stop to get this done in time, to coordinate the filming schedule, to get the equipment ready, to organize the logistics of people, locations and props. I can only hope fervently for everyone involved to understand what this is really about- teamwork, communication, community, creativity, magic- and to be on the same wavelength. I feel so protective of it and hope that others, besides the team that has been working on it from the beginning, see how incredibly great it is going to be.
