Status...
It's been awhile since I've posted something 'personal' on the blog, you know...Lessons learned, and that sort of thing...I will say this, "THANK YOU ACTORS OF CHICAGO!" We've had a great turnout of talent this month, all organized by Jason Chapman. We'll be calling people back this week.
We had the pleasure of working with O'Connor Casting for about a week this past month. We ultimately decided to find our own talent. We just don't have the budget to pay O'Connor for their time, nonetheless David O'Connor offered us a much appreciated strategy for finding the right talent. Moving through all of the required tasks that I'm responsible for as Director of this project - $$, production space, writing, wardrobe, lighting, casting, $$ - has taught me this: until I find a system, whatever the task, all is chaos. The mountain is just TOO high, at every level. Once I find a system, an improvised, site specific method in dealing with the task at hand...All is well. On that note, this past Saturday saw Zulema and I churning through 38 unique wardrobe designs for the film. I'm thrilled with the results. So, the film moves on...There's even talk of a potential investor at this point. I'll keep you posted.

ACME DESIGN and O'CONNOR CASTING...
Two regional players have taken on A City to Make Me: Acme Design and O'Connor Casting.
We'll owe them all our first born. Apparently, they like the script.
Acme and O'Connor, thank you!
