Following up on the sentiments of our writer/producer-man, I want to thank everyone involved for one of the most outstanding experiences of my (semi-long) life!
 RAFAEL -- Without you and your amazing story, none of this could ever have happened! You have a true gift for humor and an incredible imagination. Work it, brother!
JULIE -- I know you were busy and everything this quarter, but I am indebted to you for offering up the Director's chair and thus setting up an opportunity for me to do what I have wanted to do from the very beginning! Thank you!
ALEX -- You were there to catch me when I was falling down on the prep side of the show. Thanks for riding with me! Thanks for caring about this project! Thanks for keeping the camera angles anywhere but on eye level!!!
You da man!
ANDY -- What would we have done without you and your truck???? AND -- I haven't heard the sound yet, but you kept things moving and I'm assuming it was a-ok on your end. Thanks for everything!
BRENT -- You are a true professional and a lot of fun! Thanks for stepping in to fill our 1st AD position and for being so responsive and helpful to my overload on Saturday morning! Everything ran like a top on the shoot, thanks in no small part to you!
DARREN -- You kept me in between the lines when I could've messed it up AND your shot list will be one of my treasures forever! Thanks for your friendship and for keeping track of all the many changes we made in real time!
DEREK -- Thanks for your help and especially for bringing the cello! See you in post, buddy.
JESSICA -- Thanks for so many things: for the great meatballs and munchies on Saturday, for Tintra's costume pieces and especially the gloves, for showing up when you often wanted to be somewhere else! For Tumka's hairstyle -- what a find!!! You are very creative. Hope you always find ways to use it!
KRISTEN -- Congratulations on your personal joy! Thanks for throwing down with Derek and making our little lights shine!
MARY -- Congratulations on your promotion! We'll be sorry to lose you from our local community, but hope you keep in touch and take advantage of the courses at SF State. You can write, woman! Sorry we didn't get to work together on Widow, but thanks for showing up and thanks for your kind words! I loved every minute of it!
MATT D -- Wow! Great Spider Blood! And EXCELLENT call on the Red Light (consignment shop)! The tarantula skin was only one of the great things that we found there and it was PURR-FECT!!! Thank you!
MATT L -- You, too, dude! We would have been sunk without you and your truck to move our trees in and out of the studio. Also, your work on the dolly shots was essential and much appreciated. I'm hoping we get to work together again in the future. Best wishes for your upcoming feature film.
MICHELLE -- Your contributions on continuity kept me sane that day and your smiles at rehearsal, etc. really helped me to feel encouraged when I was so worried about pleasing everyone.
ROSSES -- You guys rock, especially on the boom mic. Thx...
TITUS -- You're just plain nice to have around... Sorry if you were underutilized on this show.
TREVOR -- Way to run the camera, dude! I'm happy with everything I've seen so far, and largely thanks to your work! Thank you!
 BENAY -- My mainstay throughout this production. Moral support, practical effort, real contributions... You were always there, you always brought everything you committed to, you always brought something extra, you covered for others when they needed it and your camera was invaluable to me during the auditions and rehearsals. You gave me positive feedback, you supported everyone, I would NEVER have made it without you on the team! Hope you had as much fun and learned as much as I did through all of this. Hope we get to work together again and often making pictures!
SETH/MILTON -- a.k.a. "the pizza man" -- you love to push the boundaries and there's not enough adrenaline in the system to maintain stasis when you do that, but when push comes to shove, you showed that you can deliver! All the best in the years to come.
SVETLANA/T'POL -- There are no words to express my admiration for you! You came to the audition with a clearer understanding of the story than anyone and your development of the character made everything else fall into place! Thank you for your talent and your friendship, forever... Please keep in touch.
LIZ/TINTRA -- Absolute genius! Your portrayal may be the show-stopper once we finish in post! Can't wait to see you again on the set of "Like a Melon"...
LAURA/TUMKA -- Wow! You brought our little spider to life in a very big way and no one ever wanted anyone else for this character. Thank you for an outstanding performance! It was a true pleasure to work with you!
 LAZ -- If I learned half as much as I think I did from this experience with you, I will be blessed forever! There is so much I want to thank you for: your diplomacy and your expertise and your creative genius; for sharing your body of work; for insisting on the fishnets as spiderwebs; for the light and placement of major pieces on the set; for hanging your Director's Viewfinder around my neck (another one of those "happiest moments of my life"); for keeping everyone in balance and teaching us about this most demanding and exhilarating business! I love you! Thanks!
