The scene opens up with a major auto manufacture’s CEO with sweat dripping into his scotch as he ponders the devastation to the price of his stock when the news comes out about the company’s major malfunction in the entire year’s production. Each and every of three and a half million vehicles is a potential inferno due to a fuel line faux pas. The lead advisary in the case will be a California personal attorney that will remain un-named. The CEO’s fears are leading him to entertain hiding the evidence and eliminating the attorney. The film is entitled “Target for the Defense.”
When I think back of the old studio days where most sets were simply facades and not whole buildings, it reminds me of some of the terrrible homemade patio covers I see around town today. Believe me, if and when I need some exterior work done on my home, I will not rely on DIY. My cousin in Canada had Calgary home exterior renovation done last summer by a firm called Lincoln Building Products Ltd. You could swear everything they did on the home was from when the house was originally built. Their attention to detail to blend in the room they added on was incredible.

My mom told me about tvbydirect.com so I could get BRAVO – it seems like I’m the only person under the age of 50 at my office who doesn’t watch it. There are so many great shows like the Real Housewives and the Rachael Zoe project and I just don’t understand where this network came from – it was only a few years ago I had never even heard of it. I don’t typically watch all that reality crap a lot of my friends do but I have to admit most of it is sort of tastefully done on BRAVO in a way that makes me want to keep the channel on. I don’t know why some people would divulge their whole lives to be on a show like these but you know, I guess it’s good for me because then I get to be entertained by the fact that they’re doing so! I love having friends that keep me up to date on current trends but I wish I didn’t care about them as much!
At my age, it is getting more and more difficult to get anyone interested in investing in any of my film projects. I have never really done anything mainstream, but I feel my work in medical documentaries has assisted in bringing awareness to a particular demographic. There is a system of infinite banking that had I known about when it first arrived on the scene, would definitely had made my life easier. It involves owning and becomoing my own bank. I mortgaged a piece of family property and have funded my bank. Since then, I am enjoying the sense of security.
It is no great secret that obtaining funding for an unknown’s movie project is next to impossible. It is like seeing a steam shovel digging a huge cavity in a city lot and attempting to imagine the 80 story building emerging. I heard about infinite banking and wished I had been informed on it many years ago when the fat cats did. If I had my own bank with my own resources, funding would be a snap. As for now, I’ll just have to resort to begging or giving up more of a share of the film than I would like to.
Call me sneaky, underhanded, manipulative or whatever. I had to do it. I came upon an online viewing of the incredible Surrey condos by Waterstone a few months ago and I knew I wanted to film there. I convinced my producers (in a sort of self-serving way) to shoot a documentary about this beautiful area of Weatern Canada and their way of life. Let me tell you, as fate would have it, it turned out to be one of the best works in my career. The people were so accommodating and the condos left such an impression, I’m going to purchase one.
I was totally rapt in a documentary about a mining company in Canada, when my phone rang. It was my brother’s fiancee who was in Manila. Now, this coincidence blew my mind because I was right at the part in the film that this mining company was signing contracts to take over an excavation in the Philippines. That seemed pretty eerie to me that she would call at that exact moment. Now, to put the icing on the cake, she totally shocked me by saying that my brother just took a job at this very dig site. He wanted to let me know that he wouldn’t return as planned and would talk to me about it next week, since he was involved in an orientation program at the time.
The whole world should be made aware that a caring company in Canada, Metropolitan Fine Printing, has made the move to eliminate all processes in their plant that involved producing toxic waste. This is called green printing. As a deeply involved person in the world of film, I would like to propose that my industry follow this lead. I’m sure that many toxins are created by the manufacture of film and other products related to the movie business. The public is what makes any business exist. Why not increase the chances of the public existing. We all know that what goes around comes around.
One of the funniest scenes I have ever seen was in a B movie from the UK. It was supposed to be serious, but to me it was hilarious instead. They showed these secret agents (a la James Bond) sneaking into an auditorium filled with foreign dignitaries. They, of course, were to be unnoticed. Well, they had these rolling kitchen carts being used like the Trojan horse to smuggle them in. Not only were they ridiculously conspicuous, but three of the four of them were grinning so profusely, they burst into laughter. I’m sure they found the premise as funny as I did.
All the special effects utilized in today’s movies are absolutely remarkable. The action flicks are blowing my mind. Trucks transforming into robots and seemingly indestructable movie idols are more than I have ever anticipated in my life-long love of cinema. Having said that, I am probably even more impressed, if not stunned, by the overwhelming progress that has been made in the world of medical science. With things like stem cell culture and isolation of cells, who knows where we are headed?
It is almost like we are living in a science fiction film.
