Magic, casting, ideas and film money

Well, Working the weekend. Magic are on a run for the trophy and I'm doing live streaming from a sports bar, using our new streaming gear. After I get it set up I plan to head back o the studio and catch up on a bit of editing I need to finish. If I'm lucky I'll make it out by midnight.

I've been talking with my group about copyright lately, working to keep us on the up and up. Copyright these days is a real gray area. Most of what I know is from listening to Gordon Firemark's… Continue

Film and Entertainment Incentive

This week, Florida Governor Charlie Crist signed the 2009-10 budget preserving economic development items. Among those items, the Film and Entertainment Incentive received $10.8 million - more than double the $5 million that was allocated last year.

Thanks to State Legislators and the Governor for recognizing the importance of the film, digital media and entertainment industry to the state of Florida, especially during these tough, economic times.

Starting June 1,… Continue

Renaissance Zone Tax Free

I worked for years in the Metro-Detroit area and I am well aware of the economic environment in south-east Michigan. What some of you may not know is that for the past 25 years, more films and videos were produced each year in south-east Michigan than in Hollywood and New York combined. True, most were not theatrical release, rather industrial, medical and educational.

So, times being what they are, Pontiac, a small city about 60-miles north of Detroit has taken a bold move. In a bid… Continue

Editing till the wee hours...

Something i love about my job is the flexibility. I used to work at my family appliance store (which i highly enjoyed) but i had to be in at 8:30 every morning, and i was home by 5:30ish everyday. It was what most people these days would have been happy to do... which i was. However, i had the sense that i was supposed to be doing something different. Now i'm married, and doing video full-time! I love it! Please tell me about any of your stories, i love the encouragement!

Good and Bad

Today was somewhat of a bust, but there was a happy ending. I spent most of the day at Kennedy Space Center. The phone provider had told us that they would have a DSL line ready for us at the landing site. I meet my Exec. Producer and the satellite truck operator that was covering it for air at 5:30 AM and we all get escorted to the landing site. We get all set up for the satellite shot and no phone provider. We do a live shot for air and after that AT&T shows up and tells us he can't help… Continue

What a week

OK, what a week, and it’s only Wednesday. The Tweet Up could have been better, we had audio problems. For some reason the UStream was taking the audio from the laptop and not from the camera Firewire. Plus, we had a deluge. Orlando got more rain on that day than they had gotten in the previous five months combined! However the drinks were free.

Weather is a big story right now, we have flooding and storms. It's good training and testing for hurricane season to come.

RETURN TO THE OUTSIDE

After 6 months filming my present film RETURN TO THE OUTSIDE, i had to take a break for emotional and economic reasons. Emotionally because i have been following (in fact living with!) an ex-inmate in Texas from the moment he left the gates at Hunstville prison till this day, and it has taken a toll on my mental life. Economically, because i have been financing the whole thing from my own pockets to remain as independent as possible, but at a prize.

right now i have come to Mexico,… Continue
