The following names are the finalists. Please do not be discouraged if your name is not on this list. Tenacity is the backbone of the filmmaker. Keep trying for my grant, other grants, funding parties, NYSCA, leave no stone unturned.
Visualize your film from beginning to end. See the credits as you sit back in a posh chair at the top NYC screening room and watch as the lights go down and your film comes up. Feel the emotions of pride, excitement, relief and success at the completion of your film.
This visualization into the future can create the present. That’s right. Daydreaming is in. Go into the future and create the present, it works! Doors begin to open that were never there before.
