So there was desire to make a movie. And I’ve got the land and resources and the time to do something I wanted to do for a long ass time. So the question became what did I want to do? I’ve alreay talked about that a bit previously, at least in terms of doing something Read More…

The other way
So you want to make films. The way I see it there are two options; make something or find something else to do. There is a third option, where you work your way up, which I tried for a minute and never liked it. I’ve also done the second option a ton, the finding something Read More…
Parts of life are on hold
We live in an old farm house. It needs a fair bit of work done, but I’m trying to make a movie. There’s fences that need to be torn out and rebuilt. barns that need new siding, but I’m trying to make a movie. We want to get a sustainable business going, so we don’t Read More…

So what sort of movie am I making
