I am so excited to present the trailer for our play, War Bride. The process of creating this was a blast. My first idea was way too huge, and Heidi laughed and was like, no. We then whittled it down to the essence of the play and what we wanted people to know; what would entice them to come. I am hooked on this form of story telling. To be able to take the most basic props and turn them into something beautiful, well, that is awesome. I also really enjoyed working with these women and it made me even more excited to jump into rehearsals, which we did the following day. The play is huge; there are so many elements, the scale of the story is grand and the history behind it immense. Shooting this trailer reminded me what I need to remember as a director. Whittle each scene to it's essence. Tell this story simply and make it beautiful. Therein lies success. The joy of collaboration that accompanies the process is the gift that makes this crazy artistic existence worthwhile.
