Christmas in May

     Reminder, the Savings code for prints of my work is good through the end of May which is fast approaching.  Enter BRRCMD in the online shopping cart as you check out for the discount to be applied.  You may pay by Pay Pal or credit card. Please drop me an email to let me know of purchases you make.  Thanks.

     Due to the overwhelming outstanding response I am getting on my paintings and art prints, I am now morphing my artistic vision to a larger canvas for a while.  "Christmas Ride" is my third screenplay and unless it sells to a larger production company, Art Promotions is trying to launch it.  Yes, I am becoming an indie filmmaker at last.  With fond memories of producing and hosting  "Heart of the Matter" at Channel 10, FCAC, in Virginia, with other volunteers, I am revisiting moving media.
 
     Last week, Memphis area actors and cameramen filmed scenes for a teaser about "Christmas Ride" which will be up on indiegogo.com in the near future.   There is a lot ABOUT this screenplay on facebook, so visit this page http://www.facebook.com/ChristmasRide  and leave your footprint in the Internet sands by clicking  LIKE US. To do this, click on ABOUT on the left hand side of the page below the poster image.  (The photograph in this image is by Daryl Martin.)  And then click the LIKE that appears on that page at the top right.
      This week editing is in progress on the footage.  I read  on IMDB there are 12,000 films in development at this time!   Which ones will get "Green Lit" and make it to the finish line?  Which ones will you watch in the theatre, download from your satellite TV system,  rent from the DVD companies, or watch on the Internet?  Did I leave any possibilities out?

     Wishing you all a safe Memorial Day Weekend.
