So GMF finally received our copyright for "American Legacy." We submitted back in 2008 and through a series of governmental speed bumps, it took this long.
That's one thing about the film making process that is really important--legal. We made sure for both films we covered ourselves legally and hired an attorney who would work with us, within our limited means. Nate Sinn, you are a rock star.
We also know why actors thank their agents, managers, accountants, legal teams, etc when receiving awards. It truly couldn't be done without those folks.
Currently working on a website for "Trubadeaux." Found a website called wix.com, where you don't have to know how to program to make a cool website; it's more like drag and drop with cool designs. My brother Mike designed and helped with our current website but I keep asking him to update it and add to it, so instead I've decided I'd try to handle it myself.
So far, so good.
We're continuing talks with Quan over at The Edgewater Beach Cafe, in the historic Edgewater Apartments. In Janurary 2010, The SDS Trio, who scored our film and now gig out as an instrumental group, held their cd release party there and the place was packed. So in March, we decided to have a joint event with the Trio, where each ticket received a cd of "This is The SDS Trio" (www.sds-trio.com) and a copy of "American Legacy" (www.americanlegacy-themovie.com). Another full house event and Quan and his mom and dad were very gracious. John and I decided to film "Trubadeaux" there if we could. And we could, so we will.
So my time is spent blogging, creating the website, casting, dealing with production elements, social media, script revisions, etc. And John spends a ton of time talking with people on the phone, like distributors, studios, agents, talent, producers, investors. And we both scour the internet for articles about independent filmmaking, restaurants, and ways to get our film to the masses.
