We’ve been busy behind the scenes at Redhouse finalizing the initial pre-production push on our current project, Jon the Baptist (working title). We’ve been drafting agreements (boring), crunching budget numbers (mega boring), and I’ve been working on the first of several rewrites of the script (hard work…but not boring). Basically, stuff’s been happening.

Our next major push is finalizing the budget and drafting a document called a “prospectus”. This is basically a business plan that will help our investors, donors, and partners to see the big picture and how we plan to accomplish it. Film production is a lot of fun, and it’s also a lot of work. That works takes planning. Planning, planning, planning. This is the meticulous, sometimes tedious part, but it has its own level of fun to it. It’s fun knowing that we’re really doing this; we’re really making this movie.

Once the budget and prospectus are done, we’ll move into initial marketing and fundraising. You can already get involved in helping to finance the film by contacting us. (you know I gotta push that, right?)

It’s exciting. It’s hard work. But it’s a blast. I can’t wait to tell this story. Stay tuned for more details!
