Read this: http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=702482
To think I was a part of this is fantasic!! I thought Wisconsin would see 100 million this year total. Looks like 100 Million with the first few films coming in.
FYI I was born in Baraboo WI. (A film that "will" be shot around Baraboo will be 50-100 million)
Going to be a great year!!
So what have you done to get ready for this?

Filmmaker
A film maker is someone who has made a film and put the film out there for others to see.
Wisconsin has a few. I am blessed to know some of them.
A wantabe is someone who talks a good game or wishes that the goverment or some other person or thing will come around and do it for them (with a big check at the end of it) and would never send a film off to a fest (It is just not right) when given a chance to help others do not follow up leaving projects in the lurch. I know a lot of these folks too. (good also at making art films)
The trouble is that the wantabe's are good at geting power over what others create. Thank God over time they blow away.

Getting it done
A message from a film maker west of Milwaukee works a full time job does film finds time to help others
Glen Popple himself (Mutant Bar Monkey)
"Aside from the post-production work on the feature length comedy Port of Call, we have several other projects in the pipeline here at the plush, well-lit offices of Mutant Barmonkey Productions. We have the short, Little Cabbages All in a Row, as debuted at It Came From Lake Michigan, slightly re-worked and winging its way to Australia for a horror fest. A documentary featuring Wisconsin micro-brews is just being launched as well as dark drama which is currently in development. The details of the drama will have to remain under wraps for now but hopefully the cover can come off later this year. Lot's o' work, that's for certain.
We're also looking at the 48-Hour film shoot next weekend (just a possibility) as well as another short of the thriller variety.
Have a good New Year and I look foward to seeing you guys in the new year."
This man rocks hard! We need more like him

The rant
I ranted today on my Blog Talk Raido show. I should delete it but I will not. I belive everyword I said.
From if you want to get your film made just do it. If you wait for Mr Hollywood producer to come to you...
Do the local 48 project. Do Wis Keno start your own Keno. Why not why let anyone tell you what you can do?
Talked about Film Wisconsin the Tax credits start in a few days get ready.
Talked about the group who is dis the Film Wisconsin Production Guide IMHO simply becuse that group is worried about losing marker share. Got news for you, your actions have put you outside what you could be sharing do not think that because you have done high leval work for Wisconsin that the productions are going to be calling you.
Your pouting has been noticed.
I Think I have to do a whole show with a co-host on It Came From Lake Michigan I need to vent about how some film makers ( or not) think that they can play games and not recive karma payback.
Here is the link. Sometime I will understand how to put in the HTML code to put the button.
