Working hard towards the next thing

So after a wonderful holiday and great start to the new year I find myself thinking about what's next. Raeanne and I have both agreed to work hard to learn marketable skills so that we can move on to the next thing. One idea is Grad school for me here at Skidmore College. A MALS (Masters of Arts in Liberal Studies) in "Math and Music as a written language". This of course would line me up for a future PhD at which point I would change my name to DR. John Yost...insisting that everyone call me as such. (just kidding...about the DR. thing...still want the PhD though) Thanks to Jack and Mr. Finn who wrote the recommendations. Raeanne is working hard on Advanced CSS and Java Script stuff while absorbing as much as she can through Lynda.com...an amazing training site.

Recent correspondence with close friends of ours have gotten us extremely interested in Denver CO as a future spot. 300+ days of sun, golf all year round, and a cost of living EQUAL to Glens Falls...we'd be stupid not too. However, there are many things to do before then, and bills to pay off. If 2009-2010 sounds like it's too far off for this change you're wrong...plenty of things to do here for now. Like make two more feature films...one of my own, and one for Brandon Bethmann my producer. You hear that Brandon...I'm sticking around for you.;-) The next film is coming along great. Randall will be up in a week or so to help me get the script rolling. I'm in the process of writing a bit of a proposal to get financial interest, (not too much needed...you know how I roll...fast and cheap.) as well as contacting artists that I admire to contribute...musicians and crew...I'll let you know how it goes.

As for EGTTR we are a few weeks away from the distribution date through IndiePix. A fan of the film has been telling those who are fighting for the TV show Jericho all about us...thanks Dan. AND, I finally got onto IMDB...although the budget is listed as 30,000 and Holland is the only mentioned character/crew member...either they stopped halfway through the update, OR I really screwed up. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

I'll leave you with this video of Charlie Brooker of the BBC talking about the biggest cocks in advertising...I can't watch this without laughing my ass off.
