Due to popular consensus I have created a blogspot. Why you say? I'll tell you why. Popular consensus. My first post will be about movies. According to many sources (though i only actually checked one website) the first "movie" ever made was a set of motion photography made by Eadweard Muybridge of a galloping horse. Essentially like those little booklets you used to make when you were little. Where you make a bunch of little drawings on separate pages, each one slightly different than the other and then flip through it really fast and at the end the poor little guy either blows up or falls off of a cliff... kinda morbid ain't it? Anyway, over the years filmmaking has evolved in an incredible fashion. Over time, filming has gone through: a silent era, propaganda-filled films in the 1940's (WWII), the take over of technicolor, and many other things, always reinventing itself and transforming the world around it. It is actually a very interesting art and much more difficult than many would imagine. Many talented directors, actors, and writers have revolutionized the art and influenced all who would come after them. Directors such as Kubrick, Felini, Scorcese, and Gilliam. Actors like Johnny Depp, Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, Denzel Washington, and Charlize Theron. I am currently in the process of making a movie that I wrote with the sole intention of getting into the Dallas International Film Festival after I met the CEO, Michael Caine, at a different film festival. It's a long-ish story. I am currently in the process of holding auditions for my movie to be held on December 5th. I'll keep you posted!
