The calling card

A lot of people talk about making a project that is a calling card. Whether it be a short film or that one "perfect" spec script. A flag you can firmly plant and say, "This is me. This is what I do."

I've shot shorts and I've written scripts but I always felt that if you want to direct a film, you can do it. Just have the balls to get it together. In fact I've done it twice now.

My second feature length self funded indie film is called Victim's Song. It just played its first film festival, The Big Bang Film Festival. It is also receiving some good praise from industry professionals.

Now I could debate the state of independent film and festivals for hours. It's not in the best shape these days. But in an industry of what-have-you-done I would always suggest to just go out and do it. Dreams are infectious and I had no problem attaching cast and crew to mine. Even across the nation in Philadelphia. It can be done.

And so I write on.
