You don’t know until a week or two later exactly what you got. There’s a quote that comes to mind. Diane Arbus said, “The thing that’s important to know is that you never know. You’re always sort of feeling your way.”

It’s true of life and it’s true of film. You learn as much as you can learn, not knowing fully where you’re going to end up, but  you move forward, you go for it anyways, and hope it’ll be better than you imagined.
