Theresa was assistant director on this movie, in addition to script supervising and pretty much anything else I needed. She was who I turned to and bounced things off of and I want to make sure everyone knows about how invaluable she has been to this production.
Theresa and I met while working in television commercial production in 1989. We had an instant chemistry and a fantastic friendship that has only grown deeper over the years. She quickly got on board and was crucial in shooting and assistant directing on many shorts and some music videos we did, not to mention countless commercials she wrote, directed and produced. When a project has come up, she has been there as my right hand and when it came time to tackle this movie, I HAD to have her there. Without her, it would have been 17 hours of video very discombobulated to have to pick thru to put this together. She has a sixth sense on these and knows me and my ways on set better than anyone and it’s harmonious dance we do during production.
This time she also got to add actor to her list by playing Coroner Carol Salinger and picking up one of the best laughs in the movie in the process. She was nervous about it, but took direction well and did a great job in a small part.
When you sit in a movie and you read the credits, you may not know what many of the jobs are you see listed , but let me tell you now, those jobs are often long and thankless ones on the big Hollywood scene often times, and while they are long here too, they are done out of love and I DO thank them. Particularly this outstanding lady who has been such a symbiotic part of what I have done over the years and whom I was grateful and thankful to have on this production!
