for our production notes and progress... to keep us moving along and able to look back and see what we have done so far. We'll try to make anything not related to our productions, friends only to keep it simple.
Our goal is to keep ourselves motivated by tracking how far we've come. Everything is a process, but making movies with only 2 people is quite a mountain to tackle....and here we go.
A little background info. M and F met in St. Louis almost 7 years ago while F attended a prestigious midwest school, first in electrical/biomedical engineering...then psychology (go figure). M had just graduated from another midwestern school where she studied theater and communications. She spent most of her education traveling abroad to China and Europe. She did the fun things that F only dreamed possible in college...like making 7 ft. puppets! Both brilliant in completely different ways, they joined forces immediately following F's "graduation" and busted out (i.e., F was a home-wrecker) together on their tremendous journey to pursue their creative interests.
They busted out 5 years ago and are still fighting for those same projects. They've lived in cars, slept on the sides of mountains, and spent 2 years in a rabbit hole in Nashville...where the duo performed in an improv troupe. And where F transformed into the actual White Rabbit, er WhiteRabbott...she's busy busy busy.
And after years of the pursuit, finally realized that no one was going to hand over their dream, or even be interested in helping with it for that matter! If they wanted it, they would certainly have to work for it. And work they have. Are. Now actually trying to hold down day jobs, and building the incredible copycatfilms studio. Their commutes are spent trying to learn anything and everything about filmmaking, editing, costuming, grant writing, and writing and editing scripts on their lunches--everything to obtain our dream.
