Dear Readers,My name is Doug and I am the executive producer of this little enterprise. While this title might have given me a slight thrill at the onset, it is really just a label created to stroke my ego and provide some tangible justification for throwing money at a venture dreamed up by an unreliable lout like Quill. Vanity is a wonderful exercise in futility and with each check I write, this becomes more and more apparent.
In the weeks and months ahead, I will contribute the occasional blog and give my take on this odd project. I am the hard-nosed business person who is an integral part of all creative endeavors and I expect there are readers out there who are curious to know how to interact with, attract, stroke, appease and cajole people like me.
We are the money and the hidden drivers of projects like this, and finding out the right buttons to push to release these funds is a critically important task for any and all creatives who wish to get something into the public domain. I don't consider myself any more or less foolish than the average person, but if you can learn why someone like me gets involved in a project of this nature, you will have come a long way to understanding how to convince others to support your projects.
As may be evident from my cynicism and language, I am not from the movie world, and reside comfortably in a corporate setting that is more suited to my particular talents and personality quirks. Thus stated, I am excited to be part of this slightly off-kilter endeavor and hope it grows to become something both substantive and entertaining.
