    15 days and quite a ways to go

    Roughly half of the 30-day pledge period has passed and this project is less than 5% funded. Please invite others that you think might be interested to take a look at the film, watch the trailer and clips on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?p=PLD06B6508697E9DD9), and make a pledge.

    Thank you so much.

    Getting ready for the big show

    I'm very excited about the upcoming world premiere of "Till You Get To Baraboo" in July.

    We actually shot the movie several years ago and then were hit by a series of setbacks, both financial and otherwise. We decided to pull the movie out of the production pipeline temporarily to focus on several other projects such as the short films "The Truth About Me" and "Jesus Awakens the Little Girl" as well as the new web series "Free Advice" (all of these are available on YouTube, by the way.

    Anyway, now we're back and very excited to get the film finished and out into the world. We have no idea how far it could go, but I know we're very proud of it and excited to show it to you FINALLY!

    Tell a friend!

    In the meantime, please enjoy this captivating photo of one of our stars, Amanda Noret.

    We have a new backer!

    Welcome our newest backer, Lotti Phariss-Knowles! I really appreciate your support!

    And as if I haven't given you all enough ways to steer your money in my general direction, I just set up a little online store on Zazzle.com to sell pointless merchandise such as t-shirts and caps featuring our "Free Advice" logo (freeadviceseries.com).

    If the "store" takes off I will add more images and designs.

    I hope everyone had a great weekend!

    Thanks to our first two backers!

    A big thanks to our first two backers, Amanda LaPera and Glenn Carlson. Amanda is actually in the film, and you can see her during a big wedding reception scene. We are very excited to finally getting this movie out there!

    That's Amanda in the picture wearing the roseish-orangish dress and getting a big hug.

    This is what I do when I'm not working on "Clawdette":

    FIRST CONFIRMED FESTIVAL SCREENING FOR "JESUS AWAKENS"

    I am pleased to announce our movie "Jesus Awakens the Little Girl" will be screened this summer at the 2010 Action On Film International Film Festival (http://www.aoffest.com/) July 23-30, 2010 right here in Pasadena. I don't have an actual screening date or time yet but as soon as they give me that info I will pass it along to you.

    Please plan on attending in July -- it's a really fun movie! And if you were in it or worked on it, I would love it if you could come to the AOF screening because they have question-and-answer sessions afterward and it could be a great chance to connect with other filmmakers (future work!)

    The movie is appropriate for all ages, including children down to age six, I would say, so please bring young ones!
