Day 3 (Chana's Post)

It's 11:00pm and I'm finally home from this crazy whirlwind of an experience filming "The Coffee Quintet". As we were wrapping up - cleaning up after our final moments of shooting, I had a real sense of gratefulness for this whole experience. It's really amazing that the elements involved in making this film just sort of fell into place. Especially when you understand that there is no reason why they should.
My feet are killing me from standing so long waiting on the set. I've eaten more junk food in the past 3 days than I have in the past 3 years. I have spent hours and hours with people who I'd never even met prior to Sunday, and yet I'm left with a real satisfaction in just "producing" something. Something that at one time was just a thought or an idea or a good rhyme or a catchy (really catchy) tune. I marvel at how a group of strangers can come together for a few days and create something where there wasn't anything. So, yes, I'm grateful. And also, a little nauseous from the package of thin mints I just scarfed down.
