Also, I'm shooting a micro-budget feature film. It's a suspense-horror with a twist. I wanted to shoot in a place where you don't have to deal with complicated permits. A place without palm trees. A place with real weather and real season. A place with some history. What better place than my home town, Mechanicsburg, PA.<div><br /></div><div>Overall, I had a great time. And people are very receptive, welcoming to filmmaking. Back in Hollywood, they could care less. Rightly so. Imagine a town full of doctors. Who in that town would want to hear about how one another's routine surgery went? They'll only pay attention if it's a revolutionary procedure where the patient survives without any complications. And that's what independent filmmaking is, a revolutionary surgery without complications. </div><div><br /></div><div>Soon, it's back to Hollywood to finish the bigger portion of the film. Someday I'll return to Mechanicburg and shoot an entire feature here. But until then, the show must go on. </div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6977422156108113364-4387084982113430584?l=visionstorm.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>VisionStormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06239775623824023257noreply@blogger.com0
