"After the Fall"

I thought I might have something to say given the fact that I haven’t written anything in several weeks but I’m all out of ideas as I’m trying to put the fragile pieces of my life back together again before I embark on my film production which will take up most of my time in the coming weeks and months.

Just got off of a two week gig at Tyler Perry Studio’s grand opening celebration. It was a one night event that took two and a half weeks to put together in which Mr. Perry could show off his new studio in East Point, Georgia to all his friends and colleagues and show off to the world that he doesn’t need Hollywood to do his own films.

Although the event will have paid me good money (enough to help me finance my film) the whole thing was one big waste of money in order to allow Mr. Perry to “show off” his money. Point of fact he needed this event due to the fact that his latest film “The Family That Preys” hasn’t exactly been as popular as many of his previous films. Having only sat completely through one of his films I can have no opinion on his work.

I do have to admit that his Grande Opening was the biggest production (and most expensive) that I had ever been a part of and I met a lot of great people during the event so I am very appreciative. I didn’t get to meet the man personally but he was always around watching and…well, watching. He was always around and if he wasn’t around his cameraman was around documenting everything. If I was forking out as much money as he was on the event then I would want someone to document it as well.

That was then and this is a new day. That gig is over and having returned from the lush gig that it was working at Gwinnett Convention Center seems to be lacking something. I’ve been back for a week and I have yet to actually “do” anything there. My motivation is gone and I feel as if my talents would be better suited somewhere else. I’m sure this is how everyone who hates there job feels. Only I don’t hate my job; I hate the politics and bullshit that comes with working at my job (something I’m sure I’ll go deeper into at a later date).
In the meantime I’m focusing all my energy on my film production and my new partnership with GET THE EORD OUT FOUNDATION (something else I’ll get to at a later date).
