Taking care of business

Today I staged a three pronged attack on pre-production type items.

1) I contacted a musician/songwriter friend of mine to see if she has any music she'd like to donate for use in the film. This one is pretty unlikely. Not because she isn't totally sweet and wonderful, but because when you're putting all you have into making music it's not in your nature to give it away for free. When I was in a band I wasn't anywhere near likely to just give someone one of my songs. No way, no how.

But I love what I've heard of her music when she was in a punk band, and she's a sweetie, so it's worth a shot, right?

2) I contacted an old friend who I know has had an interest in film making before to see if he'd be into acting in the thing. I have two out of 13 actors cast right now, but since the script hasn't been finalized and I still don't have permission to use the desired location I figure there are bigger fish to fry.

3) I sent the sample contracts I got a hold of off to a family member, who is a lawyer, to see if she thinks they'll work.

Now I have non-film related freelance work to. It's a full life.
