Stepping Away From The Crowd

THIS IS MY FIRST OFFICIAL ANGELOBELL.COM BLOG! Please make sure you say “Hey” so I know you still love me, even after I’ve moved my blog from MySpace to here :)

Today I tried to take some steps to “step away from the crowd.” the book I’ve been reading, Chris Gore’s Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide  has some key elements and interviews, and one of the interviews by Joe Carnahan struck me.  Joe is a fairly ‘out there’ guy – meaning he’s not the least bit shy. But one of the things he mentioned was an individual’s ability to emerge from the crowd.  I’ve always understood that often one has to work harder and longer, but that’s not all there is.  There are simple tasks to be done as well, that do not necessarily require an outgoing personality, but simply a desire to get it done.

So last night I hand wrote 45 addresses on official Broken Hearts Club postcards, affixed the stamps and mailed them off. In fact, as soon as I was done I took Buster dog for a walk to the mail box. I wanted to seal the deal.

Today I gathered up documents for my submission to Cinetic Media. they are a producers reps and hugely responsible for the sale of Napolean Dynamite to Fox for 4.7 million. I sent a copy of the film, several postcard samples, a copy of the poster, a print out of the cast list from the website, a print out of the main page of the website and a print out of the quotes I’ve received from colleagues. Then, to top it all off, I added a cover sheet!

I’m very excited. AND I’m very excited abot having my wn blog too. Now I just need to learn a few things to make it look and feel like my website.

I highly suggest you get this book. Check out my Recommended links page to order.
