Fall and Rise of a Project

Well, for all three of you who read this blog, I have both good news and bad news to share. The bad news first: The project I spoke of earlier about Custer and Sitting Bull, called, "Shame and Glory: A Tale of Two American Heroes," is officially dead. After chatting with several people involved it was determined that given the amount of work that has been done on these guys, it would be very difficult to find a unique angle. I'm disappointed since I had thirty pages of the script already written, but unfortunately that project is to go by the wayside.

The good news is that I've been speaking with a few people in hopes of producing my short, "Respect for the Dead." No production company is interested so I'm thinking of doing it myself. A few techies (like camera folks, sound folks, etc) have expressed interest, so at the moment I'm trying to draw everyone together in hopes of forming a production company and producing this baby. I also have some connections to talent, though whether I'll be able to get them (or the crew) for free still remains to be seen. Of course I'm still in need of funding, but I don't think it will cost much to produce so if you would like to get in on the ground floor of a blossoming filmmaker's success, feel free to post it here.

In the meantime, I'll keep you posted on the progress...
