I have to say I love answering the fan questions you folks send in, it's cool to get emails and DM's from people all over the world. I also enjoy talking about Wicked Carnival Productions, my experiences on set while filming movies.
I hope people know and understand that I hope to inspire other people to chase their dreams like I have. there really wasn't alot of thought put into me jumping into indie film making. I had an idea and wrote it all out and decided to go for it. and a few years later I've got to films under my belt and I'm happier then I've ever been.
My family has been so supportive (more so then I thought they would be) they have encouraged me to chase my dream and make it happen, my mother who thought I was crazy at first even came around and started supporting me and came to the DVD Release party for Sins of Man : Rise of Mortis .
When I was writing the final draft of Sins of Man II : Vengeance I had a thought one day I thought to myself "Damn it you're living your dream man, good for you" . Every time things go off course or something bad happens I'm going to remember that because there aren't alot of folks who just jump in head first to chase their dream with little to no education in the field they want to get into and find success on the first try.
I tell people all the time "If I can do it, anyone can do it" and it's true I had ZERO experience in film making, screenwriting, acting, makeup FX or anything in the film industry but I cannon balled into that pool and found success with my first project .
Same thing with the Podcast, I jumped into it with a laptop, camera, stage light my home office and a loosely written script . I had no idea how much I would enjoy doing the show each week . Some one asked me yesterday how the show works so I thought I would show you all how an episode of The Maine Morgue comes together ..
Monday : Filming The Maine Morgue
Tuesday : Editing the show together / Rendering it to MP4 Format
Wednesday : Uploading to youtube.com and wickedcarnivalproductions.com
Thursday : Recording Movie Review Show
Friday : Rendering the Movie Review Show to MP4 Format / Writing Next Week's Show
Saturday : Uploading Movie Review Show / Writting Next Week's Show
Sunday : Off Day
Plus on top of all of that I run the Wicked Carnival Productions office 7 days a week and I'm always writing a few projects so I'm a busy person for sure. The show is always fun to do I can't say that enough because I used to do Fan Mail Friday vids, Movie Review vids and all that stuff but it got to be too time consuming so I decided to shelve all that stuff and focus on the Podcast and doing a Movie Review video each week . I answer fan questions during the podcast each week .
Please keep the questions and review requests coming, I will eventually get to doing them all . I'm off to go write next week's show !!
STAY HUMBLE, STAY HUNGRY MY FRIENDS :)
