We asked this because Trust the Process is the mantra of Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA), the organization at the heart of our movie. It has many meanings. Every time I’ve asked a member about it, I’ve gotten a different answer. I’ve heard everything from, “It’s a shit show until opening night, and then somehow it just works” to one of our alumni cast members Sean “Dino” Johnson who once told me, “It’s about how people who shouldn’t fit together, somehow find a way to fit together.”
For me, I’m still learning what it means. Maybe because it’s a process. One that continues to unfold and shape before my eyes. What I do know is that the process is all we have. And a focus on it, on how to make it a little better every day… To be fairer, healthier, less transactional, more of a beautiful exchange… yields beautiful and unexpected gifts.
Trust the Process became our team’s mantra too. And it makes me wonder, what will it mean to you?
