Warming the Engines!

Production is a strange beast.
Stuff speeds up and then slows to a crawl and then flops back and forth...

So in a sense, this week has been very busy but also not much to show...

What's been accomplished:

* Got quotes on insurance, its not as bad as I thought it would be.
Looks like stunts only cost like "$300" (in addition to the premium and stuff) and here's the funny part - stunts are covered in this policy so long as I don't have Weapons, Animals, Porn, or Rap Music. That made me do a double take but heh, I think I'm in the clear, as I have no intention of filming Snoop Dog waving his weiner in front of a Bengal Tiger or anything like that.

* Got some investment money, both Roy, and Norm have contributed and I am infinitely grateful. But it's not quite enough to kick start anything, yet.

I hope to open a new checking account specifically for the film next month, and hopefully if I can get just a little more money, I can start moving forward on locations, and stunt coordinator hunting. As it is, I'm looking for a full production launch in October. The wait is killing me.

* I'm speaking with two different cinematographers, and even if they end up not working out, it gets me a lead to start talking to folks and getting into talking about the visual look of the film more.

* Have an actor reading the script who might be interested in the "lead roll"

* I'm working on a short clip real that I'll post to Youtube and cross post here, that shows some fight sequences that I'd like to emulate. The thing is, my friends have gotten to calling this "PK's Kung-fu film" and although I understand why they say that, and it's certainly closer to "Kill Bill" than say "Fogretting Sarah Marshall" - its absolutely not a kung-fu film. Hopefully that video can go up this weekend and everyone can kinda see where I want this to go...

* I have a very good Graphic Designer working logo ideas for me - hopefully by the end of next week we can get rid of the silly temp logo here...

Well I've bent your ear long enough, thank you for reading!
More soon....

Dang, I sound awful... this is like talking into an answering machine... is this still on well cra-
