I've shadowed directors as much as I could and as long as I could in the hopes of one day getting to direct myself. And that actually came to pass, and the experience was beyond my wildest dreams. It was just incredible. I loved it. I was terrified and just completely overwhelmed the whole time with a combination of sheer terror and pure joy. It was amazing

    chaos, fear, and urge to destroy the other had passed, Leinster’s narrative shifts gears, presenting a new way of seeing the alien, through the form of communication. “There was one of the aliens to whom communication became as normal a function as Tommy’s own code-handlings. The two of them developed a quite insane friendship, conversing by coder, decoder and short waive trains”(Leinster 268).
