Three days away from taping our first episode of "The Vanessa Waller Show" and of course trying to tie everything together cast, crew, script, equipment etc...
Sometimes you want to pull your hair out and then other times things fall into place, people amaze you and you're inspired to move forward.

And then for "Esperanza, Flutterby, Wing Thief" our writer/director just returned from LA where she attend the NALIP (National Association of Latin Independent Producers) conference and pitched our scripts and got a very good response. Our production company, Lolita Moon Productions, is now moving forward with casting, locations and fundraising.

And last but not least just did a test screening of our short "Of Tomorrow and Yesterday" where we got some great feedback and are working on tweaking the film here and there before we start submitting it to film festivals. Once that is off our plate we will start diving into "150 Years of the Perfect Woman", a documentary about how the media portrays women. We'll start setting up interviews here and on both coasts while also working on acquiring funding for crew, equipment and travel.

So as usual busy, but let's not also forget all the big projects coming to town (and the small ones) that require casting, extras, coordinating and food. The casting and coordinating jobs that I love, provide the means for me to produce worthwhile  and life changing projects. Since there really is no money in producing independently UNLESS they are successful and well received. And that of course is at the very, very end and sometimes years after you first start.

Perseverance is the name of game, not glamour.

A huge thank you to Vanessa, Ileana and Michael who are so patient with me and allow me to work on a million projects outside of producing theirs.


And now, back to work....
