DVD is burned. I'm going to ship it to Ripplin on Monday.

That's great news. Will Ripplin upload it? I am excited to see this eventually. You seem to have put a lot of effort in it... It's a brand new take on Star Wars.

I'm still super broke and I have no idea how I will make it through this next year (God help me) - but I'm not losing hope.

Sorry to hear that; I must say good luck. As a young film maker, it may be tough but talent could make it all pay off. I'll be interested to see your short films in Vimeo.
