Dru and I recently started shooting the first scenes of The Hire and everything went well other than a few issues with the sound. It's kind of tough for me to take a back seat on the project since it was my idea but a lot of exciting things are happening with Vision which seems to be keeping my attention.
I think later in life we may go back and remake this film when we are more skilled and experienced because I believe the story has some potential. Also some higher quality gear and a budget, as tiny as one may be, would help a ton. I keep going through these moments where I want to pursue film and then even faster than I get into that mindset, I fall out of it thinking that pursuing film is far from the best way to accumulate wealth. Lately I've been toying with the idea of getting into corporate and commercial video production for local businesses and then slowly and painfully move up the ranks and one day shoot professional commercials and music videos. It seems like with the growing need for original content something along these lines may be viable but it sure won't be reliable. I have begun to venture down this path by volunteering as a photographer for We Day at the MTS Center. I figured shooting an event at one of the cities biggest venues could only help in finding future work. The reason for my pursuit in this area is a simple one. Working in graphic design, photography, and filmmaking doesn't feel like work.
