07/08/06 - MAKING CONTACTS

A recent development from out of the blue occurred that shows the power of contact making and fortunate events.
Lee has landed a role in a short horror film. During a head casting for prosthetic make-up he mentioned to the make up artist about our movie and that one of the scenes featured a mock/spoof on The Exorcist and how we intended to do some make up effects. I was planning to do as I normally do if i don't know a craft...and learn it from scratch with my own research.
But the guy was an up and coming make-up effects man and he and Lee agreed that for payment of materials only, he will come and do some "proper" make up effects on Amanda for the role. Result!
We moved schedule on shooting to acommodate Lee taking this role too, and if nothing else, it is worthwhile for the fact that we now have the enthusiastic services of an effects artist to work on the show! He wants exposure and his name on the credits of work, and we want some cool make up effects. Win win....once again!

I think you guys will continue to get interest from people to test their skills out.
