I got to thinking about this years ago, things came up, life happened, but I read in an article the other day that my neighboring city, Oxnard, had a Cable Access Show, created by young film makers, to discuss independent projects. I had long since forgotten about that idea long ago, but it has now since been revived. What is the idea for the show, it's a hodgepodge of ideas. An hour program devoted to Film History, Theory, and Criticism. About twenty minutes devoted to each of these three segments. I'm hoping to make it a weekly program so I can have time to write, study, edit, and direct it. However, I'd rather have someone else speak my words for it, because I can't stand being in front of the camera. But hey, if worse comes to worse, I'll do that too. I'm already making films now, editing the dub step film, and making a gay film soon. So this will be added experience for me. It's looking like I'll be a busy beaver here soon with studies, independent and for school, film making, and this program. I hope it all comes together for me. When the Show kicks off I'm hoping I can find a way to show you this as well. I think you might like it. Anyway, here's hoping it takes flight!
