Apartment Hunting, Producer Hunting and 24 - Oh My!

I have a list of things to do: practice my pitch, build my website, polish my ripomatic and finalize my business plan. Guess how much of that I did yesterday and today.


roommate and I have been searching for a house since March. Apparently, so has everyone else in southern Cali, because we looked and came up with nothing. Or we looked and someone beat us to it. Yesterday, we had some hits, so I went to check out four places. The entire time I was looking at potential homes, I was thinking, "I need to work on my pitch, ripo, website and biz plan." When I finally returned home, I had a text from my producing partner saying she was ready to Skype.

My producing partner and I made the decision that we need someone with feature experience to help us out on our film. So I wrote up a blurb and posted it on some sites, and we got an amazing response! However, that meant our workload was enhanced. And then there we were, sorting through emails of resumes and finding ourselves in the best situation possible. We spent several hours on Skype and we finally settled on some incredibly qualified people to meet with us next week for an interview.

Last night, I found myself sitting in living room, in my chair, after a hard day's work, having accomplished so much, but nothing on my list. It was after midnight. There was only one thing to do: watch 24. I didn't watch it when it was on television, and my buddy, Miguel, swears by this show, so I started to watch it. It was episode 24 of season 1 that hooked me. Now, if I have 45 minutes of down time, I like to fill it with a little Jack Bauer.

Anyway, I'm on my way to making a movie! Today I bought the domain name for the film, so be sure to check us out at www.collectibleitemsthemovie.com. It's not up yet, but I'll keep you posted. As you see, it's on my list of things to do.

Here's to having an even more productive tomorrow than I did yesterday or today. After all, what would James Franco do?
