Life Lesson #1—Quality Matters
We’re on the road in Eugene, Oregon.
We’re at the Metro Theater for the Oregon Premiere of “We Need Rent Money.“
The movie has been selected for viewing by the Oregon Independent Film Festival.
This is the second time I’m seeing the movie on a large screen.
But the Metro Theater has a Dolby Sound System and a great projection system.
I am astounded by the richness of the sound and the pixels on the screen.
I can clearly hear every word.
The movie looks so crisp.
I realize how much I love this film and that in life quality matters.
Life Lesson #2—When your dispensing sad news throw in a kind word
We’re reviewing our emails to see if “We Need Rent Money” has won another award, when we read a rejection letter from the Dances With Wolves L.A. Film Festival.
But this rejection letter is different.
It has a encouraging comment from their selection committee.
WNRM has a “creative script with a dedicated cast. Off-the-wall absurdist entertainment.”
Those two sentences made my day.
And reminded me of the importance of being kind.
You can call it “sugar coating” or “throwing a bone” but going the extra mile by adding a few words of praise is an extraordinary act of kindness.
Life Lesson #3—End your emails on a positive note
Focus International Film Festival, which awarded WNRM the Silver Award Comedy Feature Film Award closes their email with:
“Congratulations on your wins and very best wishes on a successful festival run.”
Dances With Wolves L.A. Film Festival ends their emails with:
“We wish you the best of luck on your cinematic journey.”
Well, following our own advice, WNRM wishes you a delicious Thanksgiving turkey and a happy and healthy holiday season.
