Another Project Delayed

Turns out due to lack of interest we won't be doing the blitz to Hollywood Blvd. If anyone has any ideas for a inexpensive movie or documentary, feel free to contact us!

Richard is getting ready to be married to his sweetheart in either June or July, I can't remember, and will be unavailable to work with for about a month after. Me on the other hand, will still be single and working on the Mockumentary (currently titled TURRB) that you've probably read about by now. I've decided to go ahead with my own project, but still will be working on the 1940's script & thinking up new ideas for other film projects. I already have a few, but could use some more, any ideas? Feel free to comment with any ideas, tellings of your favorite genres, what you like about movies, and the like!

Man Of Many Hats


Benjamin Franklin started many of the things which we take for granted today like the fire department, the postal service, the newspaper (Pennsylvania Gazette), and the public lending library. Because he was able to do so much he was one of the earlist american polymath, or "Man of Many Hats" to the rest of us. Why do I bring this up? Because I (CK Stratford) have been running like a chicken with his head cut off trying to get this whole TURRB film set up and ready by May 31st.

You could say I am a man of many hats at the moment because I have undertaken being not just the Producer & Director, but also the cast director, costume designer, director of photography, location manager, production accountant, and screenwriter, though I may have forgotten a couple jobs. I'm enjoying it all, but just want to get everything together in time to give the script to the actors.

To help those out that are not familiar with the technical lingo of film, here are two links to simple definitions about the most general filmmaking jobs.

And if you're interested, here is a link to a complete list of film terms & definitions (though it might be too comprehensive for some).
