A letter from August 8th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, Here we are. Second week of self-isolation in Toronto. Having just completed the massive project that is Long Way Up. I was angry today because LINK jumped 30% and ADA is stuck at .14 cents. I write this because possibly in 5 years it will be funny to read that. Really I am extremely lucky. Mum is doing well through the pandemic. I call everyday. Don’t forget that you did and that you shared a lot with her during this very difficult and scary time. John is doing okay. He struggles and I wish I could do more but he and his family are coping. I help out when I can. Jaqueline has spent a lot of time with Mum and she is quite okay during this time of isolation. Caroline and Catherine are also okay, though I think Caroline is overworked and misses her creative side. Though she has risen to a great position in academics and that is a triumph I think Dad would be very proud of. Catherine is always growing as an artist. I hope she gets her due one day. She is amazing. I’m lonely. Making music. Acting training. My shorts have done well. Longer scripts are being shopped. Hopefully by this time I will have made something of a significant contribution in film. I try and connect with friends. David has been a generous saint. Sam, Will, Alex are well. Tony, Julie, Tom N, Tom G, Emilio, Olivier, Claudia, Jon, Mercedes x 2, TJ, the list goes on for the ones I love dearly. There are so many. Really all I want to say to my future self is I hope your okay. I hope you’ve weathered any hardship, loss that may come. I love you. You are all I have at the moment. A future hope. So with that God bless, Godspeed and onwards for the next 5 years. All my dearest love Anthony
