“I wanted to come back home and share with the film world a part of life that I come from”, Truman stated in press materials. “Most people don't know about this part of the country. I want to give something back to the area where I grew up, and at the same time, make an original film that will entertain people and show them how real people are. It's not hard to make a film that you're passionate about. Especially when that film is about a life that you know”.

Summer in the Boonies for the Underground Filmmaker

Well, it's July.

Can't believe half of the summer is over. And half of the year is over. Seems like just yesterday I wrote the No Budget Filmmaking book, was a programmer at Slamdance in Park City during the festival, and produced Opal's award winning directing debut. But all of that was back in January.

Now, this summer's kickin' along in the boonies with a lot going on in the middle of nowhere.

Made 2 new short films that are being sent out on the film festival circuit; writing a new book; in production on a feature film; and just finished reading the Upanishads.

And July's just starting.
