Dustin,
Congrats on the hospital, I know you were sweating it. I'm sure you guys are going to do really well on this project. If you have the same team as last time you'll be a force to be reckoned with.

Thanks for the kind words Will, I owe you a big THANKS for your gracious ear and thoughtful words of advice.

I'm glad to hear you are getting your locations.

In my experience, getting the right location is often the hardest part of independent (no money) filmmaking.

This is so true...i have a zero budget production...so far...nothing spent...and all i see me spending money on is my caterer and thats just buying the food. but I love it
 
Always feed the cast and crew. You can get them to work long hours and slave like it was their own film for free, but only if you feed them well.

I make certain to be the first one there, the last one to leave, work harder than everyone else, be nicer than everyone else, always say please and thanks (and mean it) and eat only after everyone else has eaten. I never snap or yell or put anyone down and I keep getting the same people back every time and more people wanting to "come play."

yes, I have a real chef coming in whom i went to high school with that is eager to do this so he can "network" with others and get his name out there and make a descent living. but yes if you're positive towards those whom are helping you out they're more than willing to help you out when you're Mr. Nice Guy Supreme!!!

Oh i wish Jan. would come already i'm ready to film this thing!!!

Make a descent living? somehow that seems like a negative thing...

(HA! Now who's got the upper-hand!?)
