Keep the Train Rollin'

Wow! There's so much happening with the production and press of Season II and planning for Season III. At the moment we have two producers in the field shooting two different stories: Amanda Spain in Tennessee shooting a story of about the town of Clarkesville, and Sandra Keats in Tacoma, Washington, shooting a story about how deployments impact children. If that's not enough we're planning our press campaign around the upcoming episode that deals with immigration issues countless military families are struggling with. At the same time I have to figure what Season III will look like. Will it be exactly like this season? Should we try something completely different? Should we try what we did in Season I? Oh, did I mention that we're editing an episode.

I've described this project as a machine with multiple, simultaneously moving parts all of which have to be kept in optimum working condition for the machine to function as intended. I've also described our crew as a team of railroad workers laying down track as the train approaches behind us. ... We gotta keep the train on track and moving forward.
