Movie Making is like what?

What the he..y? Just keep reading.

We all mess up. We all disappoint, anger, and even hurt people. We're human. It's all about the just trying to do it less, and trying to make it better the next time. Its the process, not the perfection.

That's how today is like movie making, a new take and new chance to make it better. Sometimes you get it in the first take, and other times you just have to keep trying over and over. Its the process more often than not that's the real lesson not the final version.

Have you ever heard an actor or a director who's said "That's it, it's perfect, I can do no more." Granted some think they are perfect and can do know wrong, but when talking about their role or movies, the usual answer is "If I could change that I would,"" next time I would do it this way." Its the process, the act.

Yom Kippur's (יוֹם כִּפּוּר‎) themes are atonement and repentance. It's saying I messed up and I need another take.

Now making amends isn't as easy at it looks, it should be and it shouldn't be. It should be easy to look at yourself admit what you've done, but it never is. And it shouldn't be easy because of some of the things you've done, some of the big stuff and even the little stuff , can be really lousy and you need to know that its lousy. Kind of like looking at dailies.

Today's a fresh start another year to work harder and get it better. For some every new day is a fresh start and another chance to get it right.

Cut yourself and others some slack - just try to make the next take better.
