I heard about the #CormanChallenge and was inspired to participate.
I wrote this in about an hour, we shot it in maybe three, and it was edited in about the same amount of time.
No lights. No sound. Just Michelle on an iPad with a stand I don’t think we ever actually used, Mindy and Neoma on FaceTime, and myself.
Is it perfect? No. But the point wasn’t to make something perfect.
So, here it is, The New Normal. While it’s admittedly WAY too long for the challenge itself I’m still really proud to have made something like this at a time like this.
I want to say how grateful I am to my team of amazing women who contributed their time and talent to making this happen: Michelle Myers, Neoma and Mindy Turano, and Tracy Nichole Cring. Also, a special thanks to Wolfram Gruss for allowing us to use his beautiful song.
It takes a village, and my village is the best.
