I say it is exciting for me because being the spouse of a creative perfectionist I have had to be very patient about the time it took to finalize his reel (that's what the portfolio is called). Personally, I felt he was ready a year ago. However, perfection is not quickly achieved and in fact it takes many many hours/days/weeks of studying (that's what J calls watching movies).
In any case, J has now finished two portfolio reels including some commercial video work and also some yet uncommissioned movie titles. We just need someone to write and produce the films and we'll be in business.

Yes. Of course, I am very very proud (I'm convinced I must have had some impact with all my forceful encouragement).

HOLY SHIT! (Sorry, Shirl...) WHY IS THIS MAN NOT ENTIRELY, RIDICULOUSLY FAMOUS??????????!!!!!!!!!!!
He is, clearly, brilliant. No, I mean it-- utterly brilliant and gifted beyond measure. I feel more talented just for knowing him. I am sooooooooooo proud of him! Yaaaayyyy! Give him enormous hugs from me. And I will give him some myself next week when I see him.
Right, off to brag shamelessly about my brilliant friend and his incredible motion pictures.
(I am also wildly impressed to see your hands [and your glass of wine] figuring so prominently in the 2nd reel...)
Ooh! nearly forgot! you have a reader you don't even know-- a colleague of mine and B's reads you via the link on his blog! Your public awaits, my dear!
( and she is cool and you would LOVE her!)
