Almost missed out on a great day with new friends. About a month ago, I got an email from a filmmaker wanting to come out to see TFL. I get these kinds of offers about twice a month. Instead of saying "no" right away, now I just don't answer the email at all and wait to see if they will send a second request. I had almost forgotten about the recent email when I got a second one. This time I checked out the links on the first email and discovered it was actually a person who has done a huge number videos about tiny houses, off grid, sustainability, etc. - Kirsten Dirksen. I have watched a bunch of her videos over the last couple of years and really enjoyed them. She and her husband run a site called
http://faircompanies.com/ -
community and access to tools on sustainable culture.
Kirsten's
YouTube channel has 178,731 subscribers and her videos have had almost 74,000,000 views. I answered her email and invited her out. (Of course my recent house cleaning was just because of today's visit and interview.) I'm glad she gave me a another shot so I would take a first look and get a second chance. I was really happy it wasn't just another reality TV pitch. Had a very pleasant visit with Kirsten, her husband Nicolas, and their 3 adorable kids. Don't know when the stuff she shot here will be added to her extensive library. 95,103,68,0,B
