Encouraging Words and News

First of all, I want to say thanks to all of those who've given me encouraging words on MOTW after my announcement about delaying production due to casting issues. They were very supportive. Many of them said that this was a blessing and that things will work out. I recently got an email from my online friend Tony who told me that he had the same kind of hold ups with his werewolf film "Dense Fear" as I did with MOTW. His actor couldn't make the shoots so he had no choice but to drop him from the movie and wound up playing the lead role himself.
He told me in an email, it took him 3 years to complete his movie and "I have to say it did get to one point where I thought 'ah to hell with it' but I had so much passion to finish this like yourself and in the end we did it, so just want to tell you to keep your chin up bud everything will turn out great and I know you will end up with a master piece of a film."
I appreciate that bit of advice, not just from Tony, but from the others as well. Trust me, this is something that has taken me almost a decade to become a reality, so I won't let this setback bring me down. So thanks again to all my friends for the kind words of encouragement, including Tony, who's hard at work on his sequel "Dense Fear 2: Bloodline".
I do have some encouraging news. I may have found someone to take over for the lead role. I use the word "may" because even though he is interested, a commitment is still a ways away. So for that reason, as well as the fact that I don't want to get burned yet again with having to deal with yet another setback, I'm going to hold off on making an official announcement until I talk with him further. But once I get everything confirmed, I'll definitely let you know.
Once again, I appreciate everyone's kind words of encouragement through all of this. I ask you all to remain patient for a little while longer. This project is far from being over.
