Man...this has been one busy week....
I'll tell you...my head has been spinning.....there has just not been time to get some things done....
April has been one busy month....ever since Opal and I have rented this car the end of March, we've been going non-stop. April 1st, we arrived in Orlando at the Florida Film Festival. And since that first day in April, these first 15 days have been crazy....between our Florida trip, driving back here to Missouri, filming THE OLD STRIPPER across the country these last 2 weeks, traveling all over with the rental car, Mother's book, and more.....whew...
Opal and I have been filming a lot of THE OLD STRIPPER this last week. We got quite a bit of footage with Melissa in Florida, then footage on the road back coming back home in Tennessee and Kentucky. The camera went out and became defective in Kentucky; so when I got back home here last weekend, I went to a major retail store (won't mention the name for legal reasons), and bought a camera. I'm going to use it for 30 days, then return it to get my money back; that way, I'll have a free camera this next month to shoot footage for our feature film THE OLD STRIPPER.
And this last week, we've been shooting a lot of footage with this camera. Went to Kansas City Tuesday and got some good filming of Opal with Sam; a little footage downtown around the Folly Theater; footage yesterday of going to the book printer to get Opal's novel THOUGHTS OF A STRIPPER ready for the first printing; and quite a bit of filming around home. A lot's going on with the shoot...we've been filming this documentary for about 3 years now, and going to Florida was like a shot in the arm to get the ball rolling more....we've got to try to shoot as much as we can before we return the rental car back to Springfield next week...
Got a big project going on with Opal' stripping novel THOUGHTS OF A STRIPPER...with the meeting yesterday with the printer, things look good; and the first printing is a go....so I've got a lot to work on the same time, getting Mother's book ready to market and distribute; I think this is a a great connection. I really think her book and this feature film will work together, and will get out there together. With the film fan base we've created with these shorts, we already have a worldwide foundation base to market the book as a leadup to our upcoming feature film. I think all of this will come and work together....
Gotta go for now....and get a few things done online here at the library before heading to the auction....
