I am, however, running out the door to go grab a beer on this wonderfully hot Los Angeles day. I will be back to post about my experiences relocating to Los Angeles and the types of jobs and people I've met along the way.</p> <p>I also have a ton of photos and video clips I can finally add to my site. Funny thing is I'm not a fan of updating my own website, so hopefully b2evolution will make the process much, much easier!</p> <p>I am going to begin this blog from the beginning, which means that I will be back-tracking the past few months. Hopefully, with diligence, I will catch up with the present so you can track my continued efforts and progress. As with any story, I--the main character--have hopes and dreams that one day I will be directing feature films (and not out of my garage, which I don't even have a garage right now anyway, so...). This is, by no means, a unique story. The challenges that face the main character of this particular story is the very fact that competition is fierce.

Film Journey will detail my continued efforts. Film links is where I will post useful links to websites I dig up on my journey.
