Before I get to the crux of this statement, I would like to make it clear that I am very aware and appreciative of the fact that I am in an exceedingly fortunate position, and that the following issues are indeed good problems to have — even more so now that we are in the grips of a global pandemic and a cratering economy which have left millions unemployed. With that crucial context, here is the big news from my little world.

Michael DiMartino and I recently chose to leave Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, the series he and I created together in 2002. We will have no involvement in the project moving forward. This is probably the most difficult decision I have ever made. But there is no doubt in my mind it was absolutely the right choice.

that lake that we shot in is one of Salt Lake City’s drinking water resivoirs so we had to get special permission to be in it from the city government

Peyton, Emily, a safety diver, the three canoes, and a metal camera boat (all boats were sanitized before getting in the water) were the only things allowed to go in the water and one of our PAs almost got fined for putting his hands in it

haha rip
