I'm having mad success with my writing in Denver. And in writing many posts on funding, where I state FUNDING IS EASY, I asked myself, why am I celebrating writing victories on a daily basis now? Why is funding so easy for us, BIG BOSS FILMS? The answer came immediately. Oh shit... I haven't written anything for ME in almost two years now. I moved to Denver, had meet ups, tossed pages on the table. (Who wants some?) I found a heavy hitter and native. (A hometown hero is crucial for an unknown from out of town.) Started writing for Pookie, another S32ER. Because he's the man, one Denver actor became three. I built a story for them. We got a backer for 7g and shot our short. And we're growing. Our next feature will star 10 of Denver's finest. Building a story for them. Already got a backer for 10g. It all came about from deciding to write for others. Nothing like a whole lot of hungry energy forming for hungry synergy - a beautiful thing... Take what you like. Funk the rest :)

You are a bad MFer. :) That's how filmmakers start careers. Collaboration with local friends and craftspeople. You rise. Everybody rises. Share success and failure. And if you are good or show the ability to make money, Hollywood suits come to you.

To start with congrats. I find this story refreshing. Occasionally an actor or someone will post on here asking for a free script or a writer to collaborate with. Then so many of us leap to our hire horses and tell the person "I don't work for free". We all claim professional status blah blah blah. Look what happens when you put yourself out there. Helping others seems to come back in truck loads.
