One day next year, when the film is done and we're touring the filmfestival circuit, Future 86 will win an award for best film.

I will then walk up to the podium to accept the award and say this "I honestly had no idea what I was doing this entire time"

Never, have I ever produced a feature film. But honestly I'm doing a pretty good job of it so far ( Read more... )

Things are working out.

Really well. and I'm terrified.

We're just 2 auditions away from completing our cast. Its crazy, just a few days ago we have 0 leads on our male lead and now we have 3 amazing talents all interested in joining the project.

Just a few days ago we were missing more than half of our locations and as of today all I'm missing is a ( Read more... )

Casting is looking good so far.

We have 11 straight hours of casting next Thursday. We will be watching some of the most talented people I know doing what they do best. Which is always a very inspiring thing.

Ronald, Mario and david have begun working on the shots for the film. Which makes everything just seem more real. These shots they're writting ( Read more... )

I know it's only May 20th but it pretty much feels like June, and June pretty much feels like July, and July pretty much feels like August and August we begin principle photography. thats a scary thought.

In good news though, my team is really impressing me, Hans, Mario and Ronald are all taking their jobs very seriously and working hard towards the ( Read more... )

$4,169

Thats how much we made so far of our $50,000 goal.

$4,169 in 28 days, From 95 donors. For an average of $43.85 per person or $148.89 a day.

The moral is pretty low around the office at the thought of not being anywhere near hitting our goal. It's tough looking back at the last 6-8 months of work you put into something, just to see it fail. It ( Read more... )

When i started this journal almost 10 years ago I started it in hopes of recording the rigorous process of making it to the OSCARS one day, my biggest goal in life.

and I've been doing it pretty bad job of keeping up lately.

I think the problem is that in my everyday life I see so many downs that I feel like it all might just be a waste of time. That ( Read more... )

My last post was about how we had just auditioned Marcell and Monica for our feature film 'Future 86'. Since then we have been rehearsing on a weekly basis trying to get the performances for our fundraising video just right. The film started off as a $15,000 feature film (which is nothing) and slowly we've been raising the projected budget due to ( Read more... )

The following post must be read while listening to the song above...Go ahead...start the song...I'll wait...

Ready..? Ok...Here we go...

As many of you know, I'm a Buddhist and I honestly believe the world has a natural balance to it. The world has Good and Bad. It has Happy and Sad. It has Positive and Negative.

If the world has both then why are so ( Read more... )

As the few of you who read this probably know, i'm producing a feature film. "Future 86"

The film has a great script, a great director, great producer, great potential. It has everything but the funds to put it together.

No Money = No Movie

So i've been spending the past month working on a plan to raise money for the film. Ofcourse the first thing we' ( Read more... )
