    Earlier today (Sunday, which is still "today" as I write this), I shot the first scenes from my latest feature movie. I thought it turned out very well.

    I had set a 10am call time, expecting the shoot to take us most of the day. We were shooting seven pages, all of which were outdoors 0 in a park. I figured between the weather and the other people using the park, we'd be doing well to get done with those seven pages before we lost the light.

    As it turns out, we we were finished by 1:30pm. And since we hung out a little before going to the location and most of our caravan got lost on the way to the location, it was after 11am before we rolled camera for the first shot.

    And I edited all the footage together, we weren't missing anything. We got good coverage. Excellent performances. The works. So, with one day down and as many as ten left to go (I'm going to be prepared to shoot more stuff next time in case we finish so quickly, so it may take fewer days than currently scheduled), I'm on my way to another movie.

    And I'm very confident this is going to be my best one yet... by far.

    How the heck do you get funded for something like that.

    This particular one doesn't cost anything. It's a shot-on-video thing, and I already own all the equipment (and there are plenty of actors around who will work for nothing).

    I've been putting together financing for a bigger movie, but that's not completed yet. How we're doing that is putting together a limited partnership and selling shares to friends and acquaintances of my family. It's no different than putting together a real estate deal, really (and I've done that before).

    I'm not sure yet.

    There's some opportunities for it in the script, but I don't know if the actresses are going to allow me to "go all the way". Chances are, it'll come relatively close without showing the actual naughty bits.

    But it will be funny, and that's really more important than nudity anyway.

    To my knowledge, zero, so it won't compare to "Airheads", but I long ago gave up all hope of competing with that cinematic masterpiece.

    Any need for a 5'11" razor thin Jewish white guy in a future role? (Yeah, that's what I meant)

    Nudity's really not my thing, but throw in three or four blondes and you got yourself a naked Jew.

    I've actually got all the roles cast. It's really a heck of a cast. Several of the folks are already on the Internet Movie Database for other stuff... at least three of them are on there, anyway (James LaMarr, Eryn Brooke and Jeff Hoferer), and one of the other actresses is apparently dating Jonathan Taylor Thomas, which is weird.

    I'm not in the movie at all.

    I save my dancing for 30-second ads.

    Congrats MrPaige! Great accomplishment.
    As a budding screenwriter, we might be doing business in the future. :)

    That's not you in the Six Flags commercial, is it?



    So, do you need any extras at all?
