LF: "So, Folks, meet my beautiful friend Amanda Alexander, we’ve been working together for about six years now, and Amanda is a script supervisor. I think – probably one of the most important jobs on any set; she’s a person you go to when you need help in so many areas; she’s also the director’s right hand person. And Amanda is definitely one of the best at her job. And beyond that she’s this incredible human being who keeps things calm and centered and peaceful, so when you’re stressing going “I don’t know my lines!” Amanda will take you aside and work with you until you are comfortable, and things like that, which is a gift in itself because it can be very stressful sometimes on set.
Amanda is the calm, the cool, collected one who’s there to keep the peace in every way, and she does that beautifully. We’re so lucky to have her on Motive. She’s also exceptional as a human being in every way and very much just a beautiful person inside and out. I’m thrilled that she did Ferreira Fest and was able to give some time to us, so – enjoy the interview!"

Very sad and tragic news to report; our Guffino suddenly started vomiting last night and collapsed with very rapid breathing. It was an attack similar to what he experienced briefly about 3-4 weeks ago but this time he didn't snap out of it in a few minutes like he had done then.
We got him into his big cat carrier and rushed him to an Emergency Pet Center about 40 miles away.
They did X-rays which confirmed the vet on duty's preliminary diagnosis which was congestive heart failure. Since his chronic coughing had been going on for so long the vet said his prognosis was not good at all.
After a bit of discussion we decided to have him put to rest and end his agony; he was clearly suffering and scared.
He is being cremated today and we'll pick up his ashes next week; perhaps someday we will scatter them in Volcano where he first came into our lives in 2006.
Guido, his "step brother" and nearly lifelong sidekick has already made four or five perimeter checks around our building in search of him. His blood relative Garibaldi was also looking around and out the front window more than usual this morning, too.
We will all miss him so much; our hearts break with this terrible news.
"They contacted me about the program and their need for story editors/advisors for the contestants. Having benefitted from several mentors in the early stages of my career, I know how important it is for the fresh talent to get access to and information from the more experienced members of our industry."
