Maynard drove in from Fond Du Lac and Richard came in from Elkhorn. Kudos to all. And kudos to those who made a lengthier trip to and from the location.

Everyone was wonderful. Dedicated and helpful. It was a really nice time with all. That’s the kind of film projects I enjoy. Don’t you?

Production is complete and now in post.

We will let you know as we have updates when and when and where we will debut it. Perhaps, our next meeting if completed by then.

This IS and was Mission 1 Billion’s first collaborative, short film project. At last month’s meeting Mack Heath suggested doing a project. We all thought it a great idea and voted on projects. Cottage Cheese was selected.

Some people were available and got to help. Some people didn’t and would like to. We will do other projects and we want to support you with your project as well.

This was our first pilot program and we’re so grateful to all who have supported us in making it happen. As far as a delightful, cooperative filmmaking session it was an outstanding success. Eager to see this one completed and get another project going soon. Happily we will accept suggestions by email in the FB group or messenger or at the live meetings. Feel free to share your ideas for us to consider.

PLUS Be sure to come out to our next meeting on the 24th of this month to see our Director guest, Michael Sajbel and to learn more about what’s going on with the club and what we’re doing.

Sept 24. 7pm An evening with Hollywood Director Michael Sajbel! 7pm Please Be Early so we can begin on time. Michael will speak on his filmmaking journey, provide tips and suggestions for directing, filmmaking and more. He will answer your questions.
