\"Nenad<\/a>EVERYTHING IS FOREVER<\/a> is complete.\u00a0 It took us fifteen years.\u00a0 Giving up was not an option.\u00a0 It’s never been for us.\u00a0 The other day Vic and I were talking about the notion of giving up on your dreams.\u00a0 Who goes the distance and who cannot, or will not?\u00a0 We’ve been around long enough to see many back away, ambition fizzled and gone out.\u00a0 We’ve both often examined the idea of quitting, putting the endless struggles and sacrifices and going broke finally behind us.\u00a0 Now I think we both accept that we’ll never stop trying to create, to bring art into the world no matter the emotional and financial costs.<\/p>\n

EVERYTHING IS FOREVER is the story of the musician Nenad Bach, who has followed his rock dreams out of his native Croatia to America.\u00a0 His is the ultimate example of what it means to never stop striving.<\/p>\n

We finished the film over the weekend, and Vic and I sat together on a frozen Sunday to \"Vic<\/a>watch it together.\u00a0 Often, when a film is a work-in-progress, you don’t have an opportunity to see it all of a piece.\u00a0 So as I watched, it was as though for the first time.\u00a0 It stunned me.\u00a0 I believe it is Vic’s best work — this is “A Victor Zimet Film” and it shows in every frame, every beat, every nuance.<\/p>\n

It plays like a perfect novel, these true adventures of an artist who simply refuses to give up.\u00a0 Tears, laughter, you-can’t-make-this-stuff-up surprises, war, peace, and the human experience — it’s all here.\u00a0 We were both weeping at the end, catharsis achieved.\u00a0 And meaning-making.<\/p>\n

Of course, there is lots of work ahead of us.\u00a0 Now we will begin the arduous process of bringing the film to an audience; art is interactive.\u00a0 It needs to be seen or heard to have a life.\u00a0 We’ll submit to festivals, arrange screenings as well as live performances from Nenad and his eponymous band.\u00a0 We’ll promote with the same determination we brought to the making of the film.\u00a0 We will get tired.\u00a0 We will endure disappointments aplenty.\u00a0 We will sometimes feel like giving up.<\/p>\n

But we know what will sustain us.\u00a0 The feeling of sitting in a dark theater, surrounded by an audience, with a big screen playing EVERYTHING IS FOREVER.\u00a0 Pure joy.\u00a0 We’re really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n
