I have spent a lot of time on twitter in the last 24 hours trying to get #heathledger trending b/c after all, tomorrow is the four-year anniversary of his death. The sad thing is, out of all the tweets I have sent out, very few people have followed my request to please retweet it.
So a separate plea....If you are one of the many I bug this weekend, PLEASE RETWEET, if not for me, for him...he is worthy of being mentioned, time and time again. :)
I will say tho that two very remarkable men were the first to step up...Shekhar Kapur and Djimon Hounsou. I am eternally grateful!
Best,
Sandi

Exactly!
"Serious romance is always tinged with a bit of tragedy; the closer to death,
the more romantic it is."
the more romantic it is."
-Terry Gilliam in an interview with London Evening Standard Magazine, dated 23 Oct 2009
I love these words! Exact words to describe the love story that is Six Feet from the Ledge.
Just wanted to share them...hit pretty close to home.

My New Year's Resolution
why, oh why do we force ourselves to make one? because we must! it's in our nature, in our blood! so i have made mine for this grand year of 2012. wanna know what it is? yep, it's a big one...
i'm determined to get my book made into what it should have been in the first place (broken record, i know) a movie!
now i know this will not be an easy task. however, with a rumor circulating that a film is being touted about heath's death, i feel such a sense of urgency. i would hate for someone to make such a grim movie about something so personal and painful to his family and friends. and why make one about his death, one should be made to celebrate his life and who he was a person, as a man. so i would wish, that if any movie were made in his memory that it would be my story. because my story does just that, gives us an imaginative glimpse into the compassionate and caring person he was.
so that is my goal for this year...to hopefully be given the chance to honor someone that guided me through a very unique love story that i could have never dreamed up on my own!
so i'm chasing my dream this year...but who can blame me? we all have one we want to catch, right?
take care,
sandi
