Anyway the documentary is still going well! I e-mailed a lot of people about it yesterday. I e-mailed the link to the trailer to my psychologist I see for my OCD, my moms cousin who produces real famous documentaries (one of his was nominated for a grammy!), my college counselor, and my school counselor. All per the request of my mom actually! My school counselor was soooo impressed with the project! And my moms cousin who is a real documentary producer was even impressed. This is the e-mail he sent me back after he saw my trailer:
"I just looked at your Tourette videos and I must say they are just wonderful and you are incredible for doing this.The idea of putting out the word like this and making a worldwide doc is a natural.... And I'm sure this will go viral...
The idea you are getting to, I think, is wonderful and will make this terrific and meaningful - the idea that Tourettes is symbolic for so many other things ---that everybody (every kid, too) has something that separates them, that embarrasses them, that makes them uncomfortable. And the message to stop bullying, to learn to accept each other and celebrate differences, is the path... it is wonderful...
I'd just advise you to carry on...you are doing great...
(just hold the titles on a little longer so oldies like me who don't read as fast can read them).
Anything I can do or any advice I can lend ---call or write me anytime..."
I was so happy to get this e-mail back! It made my day! He is a real life documentary producer, and even though he is family I felt like I was e-mailing a movie star! So that's my update for today. I will carry on!
