Why Do I Maintain this Site?

Why do I maintain this site? 

I was asked this a few days ago.  Good question.  Thought provoking.

Some people thought I created it to “get noticed”.  Couldn’t be further from the truth but, if that happens, as long as I “get noticed” in a good way then so be it…

Is the site’s purpose to “showcase” my work.  Yes, but that truly is not the main reason I spend time doing this.

No, the purpose of this blog is simply to “record” my journey.    In 2007 I started to learn how to write a screenplay.  Like most aspiring screenwriters, I was sure my first SP would be a great success.   Ha!  I couldn’t have been further from the truth.

Over the last three years, I have learned that, while  writing screenplays is a journey, getting the screenplay produced is also a journey.

Computers and digital cameras have impacted the process of getting features produced.  More aspiring filmmakers can enter this competitive arena.  The recent movie “Paranormal Activity” is a good example.

So, I’m recording my personal journey.   I do not use the word “journey” lightly.  This endeavor will take time, lots of it.   It will be a journey!

But I have time.  As mentioned somewhere, someplace, my goal is to have  a feature made by the year 2036.  That’s the year I’ll turn 85!
