First, I'd like to thank Louis Weyrich for opening his home to the Austin Film Meet, as well as each of you who decided to join us for our Labor Day Potluck on September 7.
Potlucks are perfect for filmmakers for two reasons:
1 - Potlucks are a team sport dependent entirely on the contributions of the guests themselves. Each person brings a food dish and it all adds up to the dinner. This collective effort reflects the spirit of filmmaking, also a team sport.
2 - Much like life, potlucks are a game of chance, choice & acceptance. You may have an idea how the meal might turn out, but never exactly. Whatever you get, is just what you get. Then you just have to accept how it turns out and make it work. Also, not that unlike making a film.
American playwright Tennessee Williams believed, "Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose."
Thanks everyone for a wonderful party! If you missed it, you missed a good one.
