Leaving college was sad for me. I didn’t really get to know the people I was going to school with until my senior year. Just as I had found these amazing friends, the year was over and I was out in the real world. Thankfully I’ve managed to stay in touch with many of them, and they’ve become even better friends.

Today was the last shoot for Chasing Windmills. For me anyways, and I’m sure for most of the other cast members. It was a fun event, as I finally met many of the people I’ve been watching nearly every day. And yet, I couldn’t help but think how sad it was that this was the first time that the bulk of us were all in the same room together, and very nearly the last, as our cast party — the big final event — is next Thursday. The Chasing Windmills experience has been so rewarding: I’ve been working with brilliant people, creating something that will live on the internet forever, and doing it all simply for the passion of making. I’ll miss these folks, and I’ll miss having never had the opportunity to really get to know most of them, as they are certainly an amazing group of talented people. It feels like the last day of school all over again, but instead of a year with them I only got an afternoon. Still, Thursday holds a lot of promise, and I look forward to seeing the wonderful Chasing Windmills cast soon.
