This is the first progress report. Just gonna give a quick notion of where I stand at the moment.

Completed what I’d consider a 3rd draft of the script and sent it out to readers and to my producing partner.

I’ve got my sites for the sets I need to build figured out, save one and I’ve got 2 good possibles for that one I’m trying to decide on (one might look better, the other is a fair bit more accessible).

Started cutting down trees for the eventual lumber I’ll need. Won’t get to making the lumber until I’m damn near ready to build in a few months time.

And I’ve started to hunt for the key crew I’ll need. DP, sound, those sorts of folks. I want to do local, local being Kansas City, and I don’t know local people so it’s a bit of the old networking skills which I don’t like and lack to a great degree.

And my producer is working on the financing tracks right now. We’re weighing a few options in that category, which I might get into later.

This is early stages, well sort of early stages, the next post will undercut that notion a little bit. But early in terms of bringing in other people and actually doing physical work in the field, it is early stages.
