You Have Got To Be Kidding Me...

Here is something I thought I would post. I was on the phone yesterday confirming the site locations we are going to be shooting at. One of the sites is a lavish resort in Oahu. Can't say the name but it's a big name. When I called to confirm them, the Director of Marketing told me that, "...after careful thought they would not like us to shoot on their property." I said, "What happened?" You'll love what she says next. She said, "It scares us that potentially 60,000,000 people will hear about our resort through your infomercial. We don't want that many people knowing about us." What the...? I thought the point of building a business is to market and advertise to INCREASE your customer base not hide behind a rock and hope people show up.

We are holding a casting call at Disney's Burbank studio tomorrow. We have been dealing with the head of talent scouting for Disney and we have managed to get the conference room for 5 hours, HD cinema cameras, and a look at their actresses for the entire time we are there (5 hrs). All this would be normally be very very expensive. We got this for....get this....FREE! Why? Could it be that Disney may be interested in working with us with regards to our continuity product? That's the buzz.

Some have asked if we are having a pre-launch party. Given that this weekend is likey to be the last weekend we can do something I highly doubt it. Too many things to do still. If there is one I can't make it. My weekend with the kids and I promised to take them places. And since I am the one supposed to coordinate, if I can't go then guess what? It aint happening. Unless all of you would be interested in having a pre-launch at CEC!!!

We are working out the details to the actual Launch Party. Should happen while we are in post production.
