Acknowledgements

Had it not been for a lot of people coming together over the course of two years, this project would still be just a kernel of an idea bouncing around inside my little brain.

Of course, thank you to the 100—actually the 106—who are in this book. Thank you all for making time out of your busy schedules to sit (or stand or roll around on the floor) for me, and to share your ideas on who else in your circles might be a good fit for the project. Ultimately, it was all of you who helped the intimation of a list in my head grow into what’s found in these pages. Thank you.

It’s unlikely that anyone who’s not involved with feature film productions or large-scale project management could easily understand what a colossal cluster it is to produce a project like this. Put aside my traveling 150,000 miles per year for a moment, and just consider the schedules of these 106 subjects. And many of these subjects are actually 3, 5, 10, or more people in and of themselves. You get the picture. I want to thank my team that started this project, as well as the team that finished it.
