Filming FIN

after many months
many miles

triumphs
and humiliations

"The Closet Door"
starring yours truly
completed its principal photography
in the Bronx, New York
this evening

what a long strange trip it's been

from hotel rooms at the Embassy Suites in the Financial District
to a rented church on the Upper West Side

from Grimaldi's Pizzeria near the Brooklyn Bridge
to the campus of an affluent Southern University

and from Austin, Texas
to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx

i don't know where this film is headed
once edited
they'll be shopping it around to film festivals

but you never know
an actor has so little control over these things

at any rate
i'll definitely be getting a copy
so without a doubt a drunken screening is in order
at some point

i'm glad i did it
i got paid
learned a lot
and work is work is work

every experience is a blessing
with the prize being the occasion to grow

i'll never be able to say
that i didn't star in my very own independent feature film
which is certainly reward enough

and i'm grateful for the opportunity

So, That's A Wrap!
