The last bit of hope they’d had—that Entertainment Tonight would air the special about their project sometime this weekend—had fallen through. The producer of the piece had left a message on Friday afternoon telling them that the story was finished, and that it would likely air sometime next month. The call to ET was one more they would have to make in the days to come. If Keith’s calculations were right, they could shoot the film the first half of Tuesday—in case some miracle came through. Unless that happened sometime between now and then, the dismissal talk would come during lunch that day. They’d completed another full week of filming, and though Keith was concerned about Andi and the distance she had seemed to put between herself and her parents recently, there remained one very strong bit of light. The scenes they were capturing were still among the best work Keith or Chase or any of the film crew had ever seen. Clearly the cast and crew were passionate about The Last Letter, so if ever there was a way to finish it, they might still find a way to reach the world with the power of a moving picture.
