St. Nick is now a book
The sold-out premiere was a grand experience; the second show was even more sold-out, and to all the right people. One more to go tomorrow.
After that first screening, Ellen Weaver, our production designer, gave me a box, and in that box was a book she'd made.
Every piece of it was taken from the house we shot in or the props we found. Bound in floorboards with the twine the kids used to lay traps; filled with photos and snippets of wallpaper and matchsticks and even those three nails that protruded from the wall just so. The book was made out of the movie itself. All the textures and tones - the entire experience of making the film distilled into this little volume. It's one of the best gifts I've ever received. I have very few prized possessions left, very few objects I treasure; but I treasure this. Thank you, Ellen!
And thank you, too, to Adam, James, Clay, Martin, Jonathan, Mark, Tucker, Savanna, Amy and everyone else who came out to see what we made for the first time. I'm glad you all could be there and I hope you're as happy with it as I am.
