I'm sad to hear that, Hez.
That's right, gents, I have returned.
News: The week went excellent. I did my job well. We made up almost 25 pages of shooting schedule over the five day period.
Other news: I may have done my job too well.
The action sequences I directed were with a potential investor with me for two days. He has, because of the experience, decided to invest, which has caused another investor to sign on for a smaller subscription option. So our budget is now about three or four times as large as before.
Even more news: They fired the director and have offered the position to me. Still in negotiations, but it looks as though I may accept. Gonna run some numbers and see how much time it would take, and how much money I would make, and how much of a pain in the ass it would be.
Jarek (Mike), will be in Vegas next week for a leadership conference of sorts from his company, as previously mentioned. Sounds like Hez may bow out. But I am good to go, once I pass out for about 24 hours.
This week is Sundance, and I am extremely busy, but I should be on every day.
So how has everyone been while I've been busy breaking jeeps? (No joke. And we weren't insured. I was pretty naughty, as it's like a $16,000 bill, lol.)

Toban, I should be able to, yes. The project is less than half a million, so it isn't too hard for me. And if I get the job as director, quite honestly, I'll push for producer as well (as he doesn't know what he's doing, and I'd be doing it anyway). It may not be as fast paced, all the time, but absolutely I can do it.
It also looks like I have a meeting with the investor for my big project as well. Now, if I land the million for that, I may re-evaluate, as I'll be all over getting the other nine. But that is a ways off at the moment.

Satinder, 50 XP for leading posts last week.
Xander, take 50 XP for your posts while I was gone.
Satinder, take 50 XP for your posts while I was gone.
Toban, take 50 XP for your posts while I was gone.
Jarek, take 25 XP for your posts while I was gone.
Hez, I understand you're leaving, but you can have 25 XP for your post as well.
Also, I know Jarek intended to post in game-play while I was gone (he e-mailed me the post as I post his for him sometimes...easier internet access), and I wasn't able to post it. So...50 XP for that post.

Great week, guys!
Satinder, you lead posts this week with 8. Take 50 XP! :) That brings you to 763.
Still sad we lost Hez, but glad we still have a party of four.
Had a seventeen hour shoot yesterday, as my last day as assistant director on this set. It was fantastic. :) I start as official director today (we announced it in a press conference with a dozen different Latin periodicals and news outlets [Eric Estrada is a God among them, lol], which is the first press conference I've ever had to deal with). The nice part is, I only have a week of shooting in green sets left, and then likely two to four months of post production, which I will oversee.

Alright...I have finished principle photography on the film as of last night. I am so bloody exhausted it is ridiculous, but very happy overall. :)
I took today to sleep and recover, I'm taking tomorrow to clean and get back on track with day to day. I may post tomorrow. Or even tonight, lol. I just have to get back up to speed, then we're heading into some fun!
Thanks for your patience. Someday I hope you all will be able to see my wonderful little film that I inherited. :)
