A Glimpse of My Future

Remember the other day when  I told you that I put out a post for a producer? Did I tell you that I got a lot of hits? Well, I did. And they weren't just shots in the dark; there are some severely qualified people out there, and today I interviewed some of them.

J'Vanne, my producer, and I spent hours sorting through the resumes and IMDB pages that were sent to us. We compiled a list of: yes, no and maybe. Needless to say, as we sorted through the list, the people in the maybe pile quickly found themselves in the no pile. I was freaking out yesterday because I had no idea where I was going to hold the meetings with the potential producers, and figured that I would just wind up at a coffee shop or cafe or something. Just as I was giving up on life, not really giving up on life, but feeling lost about where to meet people, I got a call from my Director of Photography, Gonzalo. You know, I'm not even sure why he called. But long story short, the call ended with him saying that if I needed to have any meetings, that I could use his office space at his studio.  Now, I will shamelessly plug his studio:

It is a green screen studio, but also has standing sets, or you can rent the space and build your own sets. It's called Glix Studios and is extremely affordable and located close to you!

I showed up this morning and had the first interview. The woman was amazing. All the while, I sat at the conference room table thinking that I could get use to this. I'm my own boss. I'm hiring someone to work for me and help advance my career. It was an amazing feeling. And at the end of the day, I didn't want to go home. I sat there thinking that I have so much work to do, that maybe I could just stay there and get some stuff done. I mean, I'm not insane or anything, so I came home. One of the people that I interviewed says she has access to a castle.  I want a castle. What my movie needs is a castle. She told me I can come check it out tomorrow. I think I might do that!

I have a full day of interviews lined up again for tomorrow and Friday. I feel like a kid on the first day of school. I'm super giddy and ready to go back again tomorrow. I can't wait to see who else I'll meet and what kind of experience they can bring to the table.

As usual, I'll ask myself, What Would James Franco Do?
