Soooo…..three very cool things to share.

#1 - I had a wonderful meeting this morning with a producer onboard for three of my personal productions during the month of July.

#2 - Meeting #2 today was with a group of smart fellows putting together a team for an INDIE HD FEATURE - right up my alley. I hope to have more to share on this over the upcoming months.

#3 - Upon returning home, I found a big ole’ box of gear that will never go out of style waiting on my doorstep. Specifically: microphones, a tripod, tripod head, filters, and cables which I ONLY purchased after FIRST determining that renting would be more expensive.

The biggest lesson of the day? Simple business logic: As a bootstrapping entrepreneur/ filmmaker, the best thing you can do is not learn everything yourself, but instead hire people around you who are smarter than you. To do so usually requires trust and a large checking-of-one’s ego, and today I was fortunate enough to be on both sides of that equation.

And as an Indie on a micro-budget myself, I find purchaser’s guilt is easily circumvented once proper research is performed. Right there is money well spent; no fancy cameras or software in that box.
