Current mood:  tested
So I wanted to take some time out... like 15 seconds... and discuss what I have been up to lately for anyone still reading or noticing this blog entry.  My goal has always been to get a film made and the style and or genre has always been a secondary concern to the end goal.  As a result I would like to post some of the music and movies I've done here.

I will update this page soon with that info and let all interested parties in on what I've been up to.  In a nutshell I will be showing a lot of live action demos and a few animated things.  Mainly live action as this seems to be what has taken up a lot of my time.

Current mood:  anxious
Hey well it's been a while since I have written one of these.  The reasoning is that I have been really busy with like a million things.  One of which will soon be displayed here as I update this page.  I will also be sending out a public newsletter this weekend, informing you guys of what has been going on and what to expect from us.

Some of the thigns to expect from us soon is, news on a new project, D7Studios brand change, new myspace visuals and more.

Anyways since this blog is not official, for those who care allow me to express my current points of interest.

We missed out on the most recent Austin Con, Ikkicon [ http://ikkicon.com ] mainly because of our new project but also because I was in Hawaii for a week, one week before the con... and all kinds of things.  It was weird not going to a con this year, we seem to always be going, but in other ways it was very refreshing to be able to hang back and relax.  And inreality I have not been watching much anime lately.  I think the last one I watched and thoroughly enjoyed was Nodame Cantabile, but aside from that I have this comedy one, cannot recall the name, aside from those I feel as if anime has really fallen off lately.  Not a whole lot out there that makes me excited to watch.

Anyways aside from that, my wife finished up an acting course from Ausitn Community College and really did very well, excelllent actually, I was very proud of her.  I'm really excited to hear her performance in the next project.  As well you will be hearing some new voices, a few of which include my sister Tina and my nieces Tori and Ali, and my two nephews Tommy and Nicky.   Yet even still I am absent some 20+ actors so... I guess I better dig up more family.

Writing has been cool, I have finished off Revelation as a film script, there's justa tiny piece left to write...polish, and I have laid down some pages on another project Mekura and Nabled Leately the Monster in my Closet.  Writing is the weirdest thing, you beat yourself up for a good premis and a catchy plot, and then think "Have I overdone it?"  I think writing a movie script is one of the scarier things I do.  Kind of like flying a plane in the Alps with no windows.   You just never know if you're going in the right direction, if anyone willl like the dialogue, if it makes any sense.  And let's not even get into character creation...arrgghhh.

Anyways I thik I have rambled aimlessly enough for this post so I will conclude.

thanks for reading.

We are hosting an open casting call in

Dallas, Texas
Faulconer Productions
