Sundance 2017 / Slamdance 2017 - FREE No Budget Filmmaking Book

NO BUDGET FILMMAKING

The Ebook

FREE During the 2017 Sundance & Slamdance Film Festivals

Well, it's about that time.

I've been working like a madman getting ready for the Park City madness that's called Sundance.

But to be honest....I'm looking much more forward to being at Slamdance.

The Park City madness is getting ready to start. I'm about ready for the insanity.

It's a job just getting ready for the annual adventure. Since my first film screened in Park City at Slamdance in 2006, I've been there 5 times in the last 10 years. This will make my 6th trip in the last 11 years.

A lot's changed over the years. And not for the better. But every year's different. This'll be my first trip back to Sundance and Slamdance in 3 years. The 2017 edition. It'll be interesting to see how things have changed, what's different and what's stayed the same.

Got a jammed packed schedule. I'll be arriving tomorrow, and staying for 5 days. Every day is packed with things to do, and I'm not even there yet. Between all the parties, panels, events, lounges, networking and films to see, there's going to be too much to do.

But what I'll enjoy most....is reuniting and networking with my Slamdance family.

We'll see what we get done.

I'll be there trying to find people for my next feature film. Plus, making my new ebook NO BUDGET FILMMAKING free during the entire film festival. Through Sundance & Slamdance 2017. Here's access to the free ebook during the 2017 Park City madness called Sundance & Slamdance:

Okay. Let's see what we can get done today before heading up to Park City.

Sundance & Slamdance 2017 - Time for the Park City Madness

Well, it's that time of year again.

Time for the annual Park City madness.

The 2017 Sundance Film Festival starts Thursday. The Slamdance Film Festival starts Friday.

And I can't wait.

It's been 3 years since I've been up to the hill. First film screened at Slamdance in 2006. Have had several films play there over the years. Was on the Jury 4 years ago. A programmer 3 years ago.

True independent film is in my blood.

It'll be interesting to see how much it's changed in 3 years. When I was going annually, every year was a change. And not for the better. It's becoming more commercial and star driven every year.

Let's see how it is in 2017.

I'll be there promoting my new NO BUDGET FILMMAKING ebook and looking for people to work on my next feature film.

I can't wait for the Park City madness.

Hello 2017 - A New Year for No Budget Filmmaking

Well, here we are. It's a new year.

A new year for projects. A time to put the last year behind us.

2016 was a great year for projects. Ran for Congress. Wrote a new book. Made 2 short films. What a year for the books.

2017 brings more projects. Working on a new feature film. 3 short films to get made. Sundance and Slamdance this month in Park City.

And more to come.

True, original, underground, no budget filmmaking. It doesn't get much better than this.

Hello, 2017. Welcome to the world of independent filmmaking.

No Budget Filmmaking - Wrapping up 2016

Well, 2016's coming to a close. What have you done this year with your creative juices?

Anyone can make a movie. With no money. I'm living proof.

What a year. It's December. Reflecting back on 2016, I've got a lot done. Made a new short film and got it already screened to over 20 film festivals this year. Ran for Congress. Had films screen at over 50 film festivals this year. And am editing a new short film to come out early 2017.

All on no money.

It's amazing what you can get done with nothing.

Wrapping Up Summer in the Middle of Nowhere

THE UNDERGROUND FILMMAKER

It's been a busy summer.

To put it mildly, it's been one hell of a summer.

And there's still the month of August to go.

What can you get done in the middle of nowhere? On no money? With no budget?

Quite a bit. I'm living proof.

Since I came back to my ghost town the end of January, a lot's been done out here in the middle of nowhere:

Made a new short film
Wrote a new book
Screened films at over 50 film festivals worldwide
Ran a monthly free short film festival worldwide
Ran for U.S. Congress

All on no money.

That's just a recap off the top of my head. A lot of other things have happened too.

And things just keep rocking.

I love being an underground filmmaker.
