Sometimes, the rewards in life are a little different than you may have expected. Arne's movie, Girls Rock!, has been a lesson in getting various and sundry unexpected rewards, and also about not necessarily being rewarded in the way you *did* expect.
Rewards he got: me. He says all the time that once he was doing something he loved, he was ready to get loved by me! I don't know of anybody else who started off making a movie with the goal in mind of finding the love of your life. :)
Rewards we get: Some people *do* get it. And it makes my heart swell 1) that they do, and 2) that what they get is a vision that lives somewhere between my husband, his best friend from 4th grade, about 100 little girls, and 25 passionate women (and now on-screen, too)!
Here's somebody who gets it:
My ears are bleeding: little grrrls are gonna rock ya
Rock on, Matt (the author of this post)! With feelers out like this when you write and when you live, life is going to hurt for sure, but it's also going to be well worth it.
