Here's to my new favorite blog - "Hollywood as I Live and Work" who picked up the Strikeset story. Ya'll rule. Good posts too...everyone check it out!
Last count, Strikeset had been picked up by some 28 sources around the Web including Yahoo! Movies- Denver Business Daily also posted the press release.
New shirts going up on the Zazzle site today, nothing new to the Strikeset site, but I fell behind on my Zazzle updating...
Oh, and finally started the script. Thoughts on that later.
Off to work now...remember. Shoot film, not people.

A light strikes my head -
No, I didn't clothesline a 1K, it occurred to me today (after getting about 200 e-mails to this effect), that the journey to make "Look Forward" and all the hooplah I'm going through with the Strikeset Filmmaker Gear site has the makings for a really cool diary - how to make the short film! Having done this a few times (but by no means an expert), I have collected quite the library of books, articles and links - this is stuff that you guys can use.
So that's it. In addition to keeping you all updated on the progress of the film, and pimping the Strikeset site, I have decided to make this blog a source for funding and releasing your short film.
So today's topic, the basics of story...just kidding! If you're to this point, you have probabaly read Syd Field a thousand times and have a properly formatted script in hand. Who needs another lesson on short film structure (though I'll admit I just picked up a copy of Writing the Short Film by Pat Cooper and Ken Dancyger - you can get it used on Amazon for cheap, cheap).
First, a quick pimp of the site - been a good first month of business, and as always, the surprises continue to, well, surprise..."Fix It In Post" still the bestseller, with "Director's Know What We're Doing" a close second tied with "Writer. Director. Barista." But the surprise to me is the success of my newest entries, "I Got My Start In Television" and "I Love Indie Film" both off to a good start, and we also had our biggest single sale, huzzah to the kind patron who purchased a 100-pack of magnets! To think, I was going to yank those down...one kicker, I believe they ordered them before the final design was published, so the printing may be skewed. Dear customer, if you read this and you're not happy, please send them back, we offer a money back guarantee, and re-order, everything in the store is awesome and well printed now! Thanks for the business!!
Oh, and here's to good friends also picking up shirts here and there. Besides my own collection, Julie grabbed a "C-47 Brand" tee and it was so cool to see the printing on another person!
Next topic...Producing...
