I spent most of the day today thinking. Thinking about where I might be going, sending out emails to folks in Nashville and elsewhere, talking to other folks online, etc. I keep staring at the edit for Standing Firm and not doing much. I need to finish up the last few things needed before mailing this thing off. I think I need a boost. I need to send the thing out and just be done with that part of things. Only until I get (or don’t get) a phone call will I be able to move forward. I think it’s just time to get it in the mail and part with it. Close a chapter and HOPEFULLY open a new one if we get a good response. It’s going right to a VP of a companies house, not a giant pile on a desk somewhere in the back of an office. We’ll see…
We had a production meeting for The Grace Card later in the evening. I love getting these out of the way because I keep sensing folks being more and more comfortable with their involvement. The more we meet and just talk about things that need to be done, the stronger as a team we get and the better we become at communicating. This friday is going to be an interesting time as we have Michael Joiner coming in to do a free comedy show at Calvary Church, and we introduce the film more officially to people. It’s going to be an interesting weekend I think, and plenty to do in just a few days. I can’t wait for it to be over already, lol.
The more I think about where I’ll settle, the more I realize I don’t need to be anywhere in particular. You can make movies anywhere, because odds are you’ll travel where you make them. You can do web design, graphic work, etc. anywhere because it’s all internet based. You can write from anywhere because email and phone is really the only thing you need to accomplish delivery. The only thing I’m missing that I really need is a team of people to plug into or start with someone. NY is just a crappy place to do that and nobody else is there really. I don’t want to travel 9 months out of the year. I want to make movies yes but I don’t want to be alone where I am either. If I go to Nashville I have this feeling that on most nights I’ll be completely alone, just sitting there. It’s just a delicate decision because I DO NOT want to spend a bunch of money going somewhere and getting an apartment only to go “oops.” I need to be careful and make sure I go where God wants me to be…so it’s just a long period of asking and waiting.
That’s about all I can think of to say for now…g’night.
