Forums - General - Producing my first movie...

After years of wanting to make my own independent film I am finally taking the plunge.  Last year, after a really bad breakup, I was on the verge of just throwing in the towel on my dreams.

I remember getting online and just moping around looking at video game and superhero websites, and thinking how pointless everything was.  Then I saw a casting call for the Dark Night Rises.  I didn't go to PA to take part in it, but I decided to give the next one a go.

Enter the Man of Steel.    I really wanted to be a part of that casting call.  I dropped everything and took a bus Chicago.  I was so close to waiting hours in line for a tiny shot at movie magic, when fate intervened.

I got a call from a casting agency. They wanted to cast me as a principal extra on a television show.  Awesome, right?  I went in, had an interview, got fitted for wardrobe, and even did a 48 hour film festival pic while I was there.  Everything was going good.  I was going to get on a show.  Yay!

The show was canceled after the pilot.  I never got to do it.  Still, I was in a 48 hour film. 

I used that momentum to spur me on to several small independent projects.  I did sound, casting, script rewrites and some directing.  Now, after all of that I am in the process of funding and producing MY first film.

It is a short form independent sitcom pilot partially based upon true events. 

One Liner:  Lyncredible is a hilarious tale of two friends and their attempt to overcome the dark pleasures of life, lust, betrayal, and distrust.

Below is a link to the kickstarter project page.  If you click on updates you can watch our 48 hour film festival entry from last year.  I didn't have any input on the script with that one, but Lyncredible, the movie I am producing, is all me.

No relation to Nsanity.  Your name and your avatar?  Interesting or Lynteresting, I suppose.  Do you mean Lynsanity or Lyncredible? 



Signalstar, Thank you for well wishes. I just watched your film. I liked it. What did you use to record it, and what type of audio equipment did you use?
