This week, our focus is on securing the right, credible interviews that will strengthen our story. Our Tuesday interview was with Beth Becka (which has been rescheduled to next Tuesday due to her illness), acting coach/owner of Insight School of Acting in Wilmington. She is extremely passionate about the industry here and the the acting jobs created help support her business as more and more people are seeking training to help further their career.
Our Indiegogo promo video is live and we have received awesome feedback for it. We're putting the final touches on the trailer and will have the official trailer by Friday. The deadline for me to submit the trailer to the RiverRun Pitch Fest is Friday, so that will be a top priority this week.
We've had to go back to the drawing boards to truly find the story we want to express. We've re-evaluated our interviewees and have since switched gears a bit in regards to who we are interviewing. I've contacted CBS Publicity to try and get permission to film on the Under The Dome set, local actress Sydney Penny (All My Children, The Bold and The Beautiful) for an interview, Marty Siu who has an extremely successful casting company, MJ Hilton, assistant to the producer on Under The Dome, Albert Hedgepeth III- Emmy Award winning cinematographer/sound recordist, and Connor has contacted some other individuals in the community.
What we've come to realize is, 45 of the 50 US States have film incentives. The big dogs in L.A. have options and I guarantee it doesn't make a difference to them if North Carolina loses the Film Tax Incentive or not- they'll just move on to the next state. To the people here in North Carolina, however, it's a huge deal; it's their livelihood, their state's economy, their culture. With our film, it's our job to make it matter, not just to North Carolinians, but to the big dogs in the film industry and the government.
