I'm spending the rest of the day focused on a new project. The epic project my sister and I are working on. It's going to take place in Africa. There going to be super powers, good vs evil. It should be great. So hopefully I will be offline for the rest of the day. I am also downloading "Neverending Story 1 & 2" to watch. That should be great. Keep me busy for a while. I will update on project. I'm reading up on African Kings and Queens. Fantasy and Sci-fi.

I think I figured out what my first tattoo is going to consist of. It's going to be on my inner left ankle. It's going to be different size stars taking flight. They will be on the tail end of a film strip or coming out of a film strip. I have to design it and see the results. I will put up my final design tomorrow. Here are the elements for my first tattoo.

P.S. I'm going to have film related tattoos, all over my body.

So I spent all day trying to upload my show to different paid websites. Some were more successful than others. You sometimes have to download some sort of player to take up more room on your hard drive. The hardest part will be creating Paypal accounts. I don't know how to do it. I tried it once and have different accounts, but to activate them is hard. I will figure it out because you must have a Paypal account to upload film to some of the sites. I am so tired right now. It's taken me half a year just to create one show. Lets hope it doesn't take as long to make money. I am happy that I am shooting the second episode on Monday. I plan on shooting at least two episodes per month. It shouldn't take me as long to edit as it did the first show. I don't know when I'm going to start writing the second season. I plan on also filming other projects in between. Hopefully next week I will shoot the Mac vs PC commercial. 

I am also working on this interesting new series that will take more work. We will see how this one goes. The show will deal with fantasy, role playing and mind-fuckery. It's an interesting concept. I want to make it dark and maybe Gothic. So that means when I write, I can't hold back on my emotions. I won't tell the concept. I've written one episode. I have an outline for eight episodes. Filmmaking is hard when you play all the roles. I can't wait till the day I can delegate roles to others.

My friend and future film partner Simone has a friend who owns a tv station in LA. He is interested in working with us in the future. I am excited about that idea. Simone is on her way to New Zealand right now. When she gets back, we are shooting the second episode of Matchmaker cafe. I have to have the first episode finish by this week or next week, so that I can give out copies to cast at the next shoot. Simone and I are also going to be working together to come up with an idea for a show that can air on her friend's station. 

I've been interested in filmmaking since I could remember. It wasn't until 07-08 that I decided to finally do something about it. I created my own production company called Trinity Films Productions. Trinity Films is three companies in one. I will be working with digital, screen and television projects. I write, direct, produce and shoot my own work. I even cast my own actors. I find that when you want something done, do it yourself. There have been people who've shown interested in supporting me on this journey. Whether it's helping me edited my work; which is the hardest part with filmmaking or helping me with casting and PR. I am excited to see where this idea goes and would like to hear other filmmakers stories of beginnings, endings or present. You can find a few videos on my youtube page so see a bit of what I'm working on, Trinity Films Productions Youtube Page.

I just finished shooting the first episode to my first project, The Matchmaker cafe. It's been a great experience and accomplishment. I hope to have it edited and completely finished by next week to be added to websites. There are great paying websites out there that are happy to supporting aspiring filmmakers. In the future I will add a page about websites that are willing to pay filmmakers for uploads. I hope everyone who joins this group will find it useful and will make it useful. Feel free to talk about day to day filmmaking experiences, gossip about behind the scenes and share knowledge. All is welcome. Even leaving a video, poem or blog entry is welcome here...just feel welcome.

I plan on working on more than one project simultaneously. I will write weekly or monthly blogs about my many projects, the challenges and success. I am scheduled to shoot this month a second project that I wrote, which is a reply to the Mac vs PC commercial.
