"I was really hoping for snow on October 27. Since we had a hail storm on our first day of shooting (in May), snow would have completed the circle from an acts-of-God standpoint. I did like the high school mixer going on in the Museum Center foyer during the premiere. That added a surreal touch. All this is a roundabout way of saying thanks to everyone who attended the Beginning premiere. It was very gratifying to have such a large turnout and to receive an enthusiastic response."
