***IMPORTANT UPDATE***
I meant to make this post the other day but got swept up with family stuff.
Most of you are not aware that my (Aiden) aunt passed rather unexpectedly in November, I didn't really talk about it much on most of our platforms. Shortly after we made travel plans to go to her life celebration for this past weekend and we were looking to seeing family that I have not seen In over a decade and Brodie had not met yet. This past Thursday we arrived in CA only to find out that the memorial had been canceled and the person responsible had neglected to tell us despite the cancelation being discussed 4 or 5 days prior. My father (aunts brother) and my cousin (aunts son) were also left in the dark, along with another cousin (also aunts son) who had been estranged from the family for over two decades and was taking a very difficult step to make amends by simply showing up.
All of that casually canceled by someone who could not offer my family the simple decency of communication. Wasted time. Wasted money. Dissolution of a connection we may never get the opportunity for again...
I am not happy.
On top of all that this holiday season has been an utter shit show: we both got covid in December, Brodie got their nerve ablation procedure, shortly after we both got sick again, major renovation on our house that turned into an ordeal that is not even over, we had to give up on a number of shoots we had planned for Christmas including a shoot that involved a shibari rigger...disappointment doesn't even start to describe how we both feel about the last few months.
I know I've said it a bunch already but I will say it again: I'm sorry this has affected our production during this time. I know it's not needed but I need to say it.
The important thing, though, is the thing that we always have, and always will stand by: we are not done. We love this work and love all of you, we will always have lulls and downtime, platforms may change or shift, we are constantly working to improve and expand.
One thing I will say with absolute certainty: we are not going anywhere.
Your support means the world to us.
We wanted to film something for you before we left but Brodie is still healing from the ablation, the healing time is long but very critical. The good news is that Brodie has been talking about how they "can't wait to get home so they can destroy me"... so there's that ;)
