I am now in the last week as Production Designer on the feature film "Beyond the Ring" starring Martial Arts Champion Andre Lima, Gary Busey (The Buddy Holly Story) and Martin Kove (Karate Kid). There has been some new developments in financing of SKSH...nothing solid to report...just keep the fingers crossed!

Lightning strike twice? Well...no...once again a town full of talkers not doers. It is amazing how many people talk a big game but when it comes to it...nothing. So, I continue on the search for $$$ how fun. If the funds do not come...I will still "do" the film...it might take a year instead of a month...but it will happen...that you can count on.

Basket of eggs. We all know not to count our chickens before they hatch. Well, my basket is filling up with eggs. Lighting was even poised to strike. A Financier called me on Sunday while I was at work, he said he has been in meeting with other financiers and film Distributors all weekend long. At the meeting he spoke of "Serial Killer Scavenger Hunt". The project struck interest in another Financier and a Distributor. They wanted to see a copy of the short, a copy of the script and a budget. Could I get I get a package together and meet them in about 4 hours? I rushed out of work...got a package together and rushed back to work. Only to have my phone die. I have no way of reaching anyone. It is not until the next day that my phone decides to work again...and I find 2 messages on my phone. The three of them waited an hour for me. What could I do? Lighting was striking...I was prepared... The Financier says we can meet next week...lighting twice? I sure hope so...maybe soon I can look in on those chickens.

Hunter S. Thompson's words truly speak to me now. At the age of 39 I have come to understand the struggle of the American Dream. It has cost me alot and given me alot.. life huh? Well, it is time to get past the struggle and achieve it. Will Serial Killer Scavenger Hunt do it for me? Who Knows... I know my dream is to tell this bizarre little story whether it succeeds or not. My camera is just a few dollars away, then I am off.
