A STORY TO TELL!

There are days when I wonder if I should continue. Then, I start to get into the story and I wonder how I could ever quit. It’s like my ice skating. The more advanced I get, the harder the practice is. Which is an obvious statement. But, as the skills get harder, so are the … More A STORY TO TELL!

THE OSCARS!

I was actually pleasantly surprised by last night’s Oscars (May 04, 2018). The women’s gowns were more conservative; there wasn’t a night full of Trump bashing and I think it was great to see the diversity in all the films. Which is why we watch the Oscars right? To see the creative work of so … More THE OSCARS!

I will admit, it wasn’t the safest thing for me to do. But it was something I HAD to do. I … More STAY THE COURSE!

I am not sure if there is actually a “waiting period” in fimmaking. There seems to be something to do all the time. Even if you are waiting to hear from someone, there is still work to be done. I have learned there is nothing to be idle about. I cannot just stand still and … More I HAVE LEARNED…

THE AUDIENCE – THE HEART AND SOUL OF OUR PRODUCTION!

But without … More THE AUDIENCE – THE HEART AND SOUL OF OUR PRODUCTION!
