What am I doing?
I edited all I can edit till I get the next chunk of music... finished that about a week and a half ago... so I'm waiting for more...
I finished making the promo images, poster and teaser trailer but I'm waiting on releasing them until I have some promotional stuff to sell... like just a poster or something?...so I'm waiting to hear about that...
I also decided to NOT have a "real" website for the film and I finished the THING that is going to replace that... which will be released when I do the first promo release...
So instead of just waiting around I'm writing a book ^ ^ I'm about 13,000 words into it and it's gonna have a ton of images...its "The art and philosophy of Heart String Marionette" so its part HSM art book/making of, part HSM philosophy and part M dot film school book... I go the cafe every morning and write for 2-3 hours and I'll continue to do so for the next week or so until its done... maybe I'll start eating lunch there and write for 6-8 hours at a time instead this week...
I'm just gonna publish/sell the book through createspace... there was a publisher who was interested in me doing a book for them a year or two back but I totally flaked out because I didn't have the time to go through the formal process to get it going then... So I'm just bustin through this on my own... createspace doesn't allow you to do awesome glossy color photos but I don't have the time or connections to get into the publishing game at this time... I'm just making this book so I have something to do ^ ^ and something that has to do with HSM... I could start on my next film BUT since I still have HSM editing to do I don't want to stray too far from it...
So its frustrating for me to have to wait on things BUT I'll just have to wait a little longer and make this book in the meantime...Brought to you by professional weirdo M dot Strange.
