This is my *very first* interview as a writer-director, and 😮💨😮💨😮💨….
I really like the writer whose podcast this is, so when she asked me for an interview I jumped to do it. But then, I thought ‘Wait a minute… do I know how to do an interview?”
Well, it’s done now. In the end it was like just talking with a young friend.
In a situation where my take, perspective, voice, wasn’t considered even for a moment.
I usually acquiesce, taking it on the chin when I disagree with a thing. The goal to be coachable and listen to my coach on the wrong turns. But today it was – hers. Really hers.
Still, she was insistent she was correct then low key called me a liar. This kinda thing makes you and your team member feel like adversaries.
I left feeling like a left foot who can do nothing right. Angry. Demoralized. Dismissed.
It’s a little depressing to work this way.
But, God is a fixer.
I later opened up my email to notice I have a note from the editor working on my films. He’d sent me a video clip (shortened here) for our composer search.
I watched. And as I did, the effects of my day faded.
