A Day in the Life of a Megalomaniacal Producer/Director

In the huddle...

   As I posted yesterday, the first step is usually the hardest step to take. I forgot to mention that the first step isn't the hardest thing to do. The hardest thing to do is to keep walking. I spent most of my day on the phone with the people I know from L.A., trying to get a glimpse of what life will be like when I arrive in L.A.. Of course, they all said it would be shitty. I never expected anything but that answer, but it still sucks to hear it come from their mouths.

   At any rate, I continue to improve my acting ability, and make preparations for my move to Los Angeles. I'm anxious to get out there and get started, but also a little nervous to "risk it all" for the movie industry. I still keep trying to ignore that I have to work a bullshit job for a few months just to save enough money to even go out there. It's good though, I've been told that a shitty job and a crushed spirit will prepare me well for life in L.A.. I'm still pondering the motives of the guy that told me that, I don't know if that saying is as inspirational as he meant it to be...

You gotta Want it!

I have two sons who are in the film industry. The first is 22 years old, just graduated college and started his own production company. The second is 14 and an actor/director. They are both so passionate about filmmaking. If you are hungry enough for it, you will do it. Get plenty of training and go for it. You can see my sons info at www.seanjohnson.zoomshare.com and http://www.prettypennyproductions.com/buddycopshow/watch.htm. Good luck to ya
