Accumulation of fame.
It's the second time that it has happened, and I have to say that it leaves me thrilled. Tonight, walking home from hanging out with Adam, Marc, and Vinnie, I was stopped by a guy sitting on a bench. He says, "It's that genius young filmmaker!" At first I was somewhat stunned, I wheeled around and he engaged me about how he had seen how film and how it was "amazing". I had never seen this guy in my life. It was incredibly fulfilling to be stopped like I was famous for something that I had done, and to be praised on an accomplishment. The other time that this happened was much more strange to me, as my documentary has been sent around and probably been seen by some thousands of people; I was stopped across the street from my house infront of the Pavilion movie theatre, someone had seen me act in my high school production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as Demetrius and they said that I was thier favorite character, hysterical, and that I had made the play better as I was the best actor in it. The weirdest part about that was that the Pavilion is around 3 miles away from my school, and that the woman who was telling me this was an adult in her twenties that did not work at my school. This small moments of fame have been some of the most rewarding in my life, and I hope they are a precursor of what is to come.
