Hey!
So nice to make your acquaintance and I’m looking forward to our video chat later.
Here’s a rough plan I drew up that I thought you could glance over beforehand, but the short version is: I’d hope to come over to Norway with Milo in April or May, when he has breaks between projects, but I want it to be beneficial to you guys, so if there’s a better or more active or important time of year for your work, let me know and I can rethink.
Most important is getting a lot of eyes on you and your amazing work, and I know Milo and I can do that for you.
Equally as important, though, is our love story.
Man, I’m so excited for this!!! But it’s what I’m most interested in hearing your thoughts on.
I hear you on the wanting to shake them!
! Me too. Milo cannot move on. He says he has, but the dude is still hooked on Allie.
I think there’s so much unfinished, it ended so abruptly, that he can’t put it to bed, you know?
I mean, they never once stood in front of each other.
I’ve always said standing in front of each other would’ve fixed this whole thing ages ago.
They let their wounds write the story. Like, it’s never made sense to me that Allie leaked the phones.
I mean, did she? Milo did not do this. He’s a self-sabotaging motherfucker when he wants to be, he has his demons, but he would not do something like this.
That’s why I’m so ready to do something.
What do you think? Can we do it? Get them together?
Maybe (if they’re cool with it) make the doc interspersed with the real story of the leak?
Of them? Of how it happened? But all the while, most importantly, shining a light on your work.
Something bigger than them. It’ll be the ultimate gift to them both.
A gift that will at first feel like a forfeit or something, but will ultimately get them their answers.
I know you say Allie won’t be into being filmed and I get that.
But if worst comes to worst and she doesn’t want to talk about the leak, or Milo, we’ll have a gorgeous doc to show for it.
Whether their story is on camera, or off, it deserves its proper ending.
Ahhhh, I’m kinda nervous! Where do we start?
Speak later.
