I don't know if you've heard this in the media news already, but my company was hit with layoffs on Thursday, as a result of the Huffington Post merger. My team was hit pretty badly -- I lost almost my entire editorial team, of two associate editors. (I have one half-time staffer left.)
I don't feel comfortable discussing my feelings about this here, since it is, after all, a public forum. If you'd like to know, please reach out to me directly. Otherwise, suffice it to say that it's been a rough few days.
But even in the midst of chaos, I cling to the rare bright moments when my team (such as it is) and I can manage to produce something great. And this was it -- an Oscars-type 'In Memoriam' tribute to Corey Haim (he was snubbed from both the Oscars and Globes montages), who died a year ago this week. On top of that, we got Corey Feldman to narrate our video.
I'm intensely proud of this video, which made me tear up -- granted, the emotional state I was in may have contributed to that -- and also made me want to watch 'Lucas' again. Oh, that kid. Rest in peace, Lucas.
