DP Meeting / Props / Crew attached

First sit-down meeting with Shawn Lewallen yesterday was a huge success. He has signed on to be the DP for the project. We are discussing a camera package for the shoot when he returns from South by Southwest in a weeks time. Also met potential Editor, Kenneth Price who I'd like to sit down and talk about the project further with.

Headshot and resume submissions continue to flow in via mail and email for cast and crew. It's very uplifting to see so many people wanting to be a part of this project.

Terry Collins at Scenic Asylum has offered the use of any of his props for free for the entire shoot. We shall need set dressing for a few of the room sets for the House INT so this will be a great start.

We have acquired a hair and make artist, a set dresser and a seamstress, all working for free, all within the space of 24hrs! All locals as well, which goes to show how much people are truly interested in being a part of a project, even one with a miniscule budget like ours.

Dear sir,

I am applying to work on your crew in either G&E or lighting department. I have experience over ten years I speak filmish and gripology. I know if the gaffer is asking for a butt plug and pair of dykes, we are not doing a porn. If the best boy is asking for a jesus pin, she or he is not conducting a pray meetings. If the DP is asking for a grand slam on that deuce, she or he are not talking about baseball.

I appreciated your time reading my resume. Time is money in any business and especially film biz. I have worked as day rate on union shoot, industrial, commericals,
documentaries and indies. I know I can be a valuable team player on your crew. I don't know all slang of the biz but I can figure it out and just do it.

Thank you

don
