I’m back from Los Angeles and am at home in Southern Illinois. I’m definitely going to miss it out there, but it’s nice to be home. With my time here, I’m going to start working on an independent feature film that we will hopefully start filming by the mid-2009. We have an excellent script, but now need everything else that goes along with a great film, including talented actors and crew. A little money would also be nice.

Los Angeles was a great experience. In this business, there is always more to learn, whether it be about a certain craft, like cinematography, directing, acting, etc. or actually about the business itself. Making movies is a business after all, that employs thousands and has appeal across the world. Being from the St. Louis area, Los Angeles handles everything much differently because of how common making films are there. In St. Louis, a local film is a big deal, where in Los Angeles, it’s nothing special or out of the ordinary.

I will keep you all updated on how the movie comes along when I can. It’s hard to say much until everything is set in stone, so it might be awhile before I comment on it again.
