In to the great wide open.
Friday is my last day at GND, and honestly if I can help it my last day shilling for a living.
I'm ready to figure out at all costs how to keep myself afloat through my own creative means.

I've got some savings, I've got some time to figure this whole thing out.

November is going to be intense, busy and all about art. It's Nanowrimo and I'm taking up the challenge to write a novel in 30 days.
I'm picking up my camera and scheduling photoshoots left and right.

and I'm doing something I've had in my head for almost 2 years now.

I've been wanting desperately to do something longer than a youtube video. I've been dying to make something substantial and of real merit.
A long while ago, probably after I created my first real sketch comedy video I decided I wanted to do something feature length. Then in the months of analyzing just what was within my means I decided that a documentary would be the easiest thing to achieve budget wise. In my head I could fund a documentary on $10K at least for a few months, maybe a year.

It doesn't take much, one or two crew members including myself. No crazy sets to be built, no props to be bought, and with my years of work in the reality TV industry I get how to pull a story out of a pile of random footage. So it just comes down to subject matter, and this Sunday I'll be finalizing that.

Luis Sanchez is an amazing artist, and also a good friend. Originally from Mexico City and surrounded by a family of artisans, dancers and bullfighters. Luis is also suffering from Chronic kidney disease and years of dialysis.

His artwork is like stepping in to another world and finding a 100 year old fresco. The works combine fanciful human forms, nature, typography and a very unique decay. He literally at times chips away at the paintings, cracks it, and uses some other magic to make it appear as though it's been around for years and it's seen better days.

So this is my new project.

I meet with Luis this Sunday, he seems eager to get this started as much as I am.

Come November the world is opening up to me, and it's time for me to grab a big hunk of something. Gotta show it what I can really do.
