Hello one and all,

Wow - this is an email I never thought I'd be sending out. But here I am,
proud to announce that I've accepted a position at Temple Isaiah in
Lafayette, CA as their new Youth Director. I'll be working with the youth of
the 900+ family temple in a (mostly) informal setting - youth groups, camp,
and sure, some teaching. I'm incredibly excited for the opportunity and look
forward to the new adventures that are coming my way. Lafayette is a suburb
of San Francisco, so it will most definitely be a new experience! Anyone in
Northern California, please say hello and introduce me to the area - I'm
coming up knowing very few people and knowing very little about where I'm
moving to.

For all those who were holding their breath, waiting for my "big film
break:" have no fear. This is not the end of my film career. If anything,
it's a detour. A chance for me to explore something new and different, to
figure out what I'm truly passionate about, and to attempt to do some good
in the world. My life in film has just begun, and will continue to prosper
even in this most unlikely place - I look forward to hopefully teaching a
documentary class to the teenagers in the temple's "teen school," for
example. And who knows? Maybe this will inspire me to look at film
differently, to use film to create social change... or maybe it will throw
me back on track to just do things that make people laugh.

The future is boundless, and I can't wait to see what happens next! Please
let me know if you'd like me to keep you updated on my journey, and if you'd
like me to provide you with my new Northern California address once I make
the move.

Thanks for all the support, and for putting up with this incredibly cheesy
email,

Dan
