Excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr's speech on the

Excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr's speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial (Aug 28, 1963):
"But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.
We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges...
So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

For now, we've taken down the Dream Machine and packed her up! Thank you @lauren_paige_14 and @jtpaige_13 for helping me clean and mitigate this disaster 😆 I'll rest easier knowing it's safe from the wind 💨
Back to planning to figure out the best way to proceed. At this point, with the walls mostly built, I'm going to turn attention to the metal hitch that the studio will eventually live on. More to come, stay tuned!

🤯 A bittersweet beginning to 2021. Took my eyes off the dream machine trailer for the holidays and the wind in New Mexico had its way with it 😭 Comments of positive encouragement highly welcome! I'm not ready to douse it in flames... yet 🤣

FRIENDLY REMINDER 😸
We are STILL a video production company working with safe distancing practices. Filming, editing, animation, audio, and more! 📷 We were thinking that our instagram makes us look more like a construction company with all the media of our mobile studio being built 🤣😏

✨ SURPRISE! And Hooray! The Santa Fe Film Comm

✨ SURPRISE! And Hooray!
The Santa Fe Film Commission was granted the ability to meet via Zoom, which means Katrina had her first official meeting as a commissioner! Watch the always publicly available meeting at the City of Santa Fe youtube channel for updates on what is going on with the film industry in Santa Fe and New Mexico. Grants, travel, local updates and more ❤️
Katrina was nominated for and accepted to the Santa Fe Film Commission immediately before the pandemic shut everything down 😆 It's been month after month of canceled gatherings, so it was really thrilling to finally be able to have a Zoom meeting. The Commission is full of inspiring and accomplished film industry professionals, and it's an honor to be of public service to the Santa Fe Film community. Anyone can watch and attend these meetings so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! ❤️❤️ The meeting happens every month so be sure to tune into the January meeting.

Working into the night tonight to get these subflo

Working into the night tonight to get these subfloor panels coated with liquid rubber so they have 48 hours to dry where it's warm! This is going to weatherproof the wood components that face the road. Thank goodness I have Stevie Nicks to keep me company while I roll and brush away 😆 AND so many thanks to my dad for clearing the space and letting me take it up with my crazy project ☺️❤️

Hours of work later, we have the trailer leveled and ready for installing walls! Just need to take down the current walls to bring the framing half an inch closer together first 😂 There is no blueprint or plan for this project, and neither of us have ever done anything like this before. It's been a day to day job just to think our way through each step of the process, and moments like this make the work all worth it. I don't know exactly what it is about the trailer being level that feels like such tremendous progress, but I'm feeling the traction with great hope for the build in the (hopefully) weeks to come. Only snow will stop us now! 🙌🏽🌞💗

We have some momentum going and now we can't stop!
The subfloor supports were in pretty good shape besides being stuck with so many nails and bolts, so we decided to repair the best one with wood glue and saw dust. Our neighbor saw us struggling to get the other two supports cleaned up and he offered us two clean 2x4's in his shop. We're so grateful for all the help and unexpected kindnesses we've been experiencing as part of this journey. Neither of us know too much about what we are doing, and it's all the support of our community of builders, family, and friends that keeps us going ❤️ THANK YOU 😊🙏🏼💗

THAT MOMENT WHEN you realize that even though you

THAT MOMENT WHEN you realize that even though you measured twice, you were 5/16" off so now you have to laminate a small piece of wood to your wall 😆 Oops! We forgot to compensate for the fact that our framing wood is slightly larger than the original because we wanted it to be stronger. Too bad aluminum skin can't stretch 🤷🏽‍♀️

We tore out the floor!! The last of our demolition

We tore out the floor!! The last of our demolition for the trailer. It was a lot of work to rip, tear, and snap the plywood flooring out of place. With carriage bolts and nails holding it down, the pry bar could only do so much. The rest was a series of, "uno, dos, tres, PUSH" and "one, two, three, PULL" moments of physical strength. We're both going to be sore in the morning 😂
