Hello everyone. I'm going to be real with you. I can't write a script like the rest of you talented people. My scriptwriting is just for my head only. In my head, I am the director, the cinematographer, the producer, etc.  I know that may sound strange to you, but my scriptwriting is based on me getting funded so I can hire people to give me what I need, like actors and actresses. I would have to collaborate with the people who are talented in the field of their expertise. Have you heard of the robot Silvia who had painted a picture? The picture looked like a kindergarten student could have painted it, but someone bought it for $777,000. What a waste of money. Here is a link to the trailer of my book that just came out. The idea was mine, and it fit what I was looking for.  Right now, I am looking to get funded by the people who won't waste their money. My scripts are like my novels. I've written 33 books. Some not good but they got better as I became older. My latest book:

Nothing wrong with wanting to do things this way, Kevin. Lots of filmmakers do and it's a great way to build a career.

Hello all my Rockstar buddies.

Kevin your Utube connection doesn't work.

Question: I use periodicals for research (and the pleasure of research).  At the present time I use Newspapers.com  Their search engine sucks.   Does anyone used a service they are happy with?

Trivia:  I used to estimate construction projects on my off, when I was a fireman.  This is what I came up with when calculating costs.  A professional videographer and sound man WITH EQUIPMENT plus 2 grips costs approx. $1,700 for a 8 to 10 hour day.  I don't know how to price film editing...yet.

There are many ways to produce income.  There are many ways to entice investors.  One was is making previews and shorts.  shows investors what you have in a more convincing way.  They can see what their investing in.

As usual, please feel free to add on any information to your fellow rockstars.

Lets have another Zoom conference CJ.
