I took a break from my documentary – I HAVE DREAMS, DAMMIT! – after shooting about 40 hours of footage. During this time I focused on working a lot of screenings after work at Paramount/Dreamworks which has been a really great experience… seeing all the different types of films and how the premieres and other screenings are handled by the studios has been great. Now that my break has refreshed my perspective, I am starting to pull out my notes on my doc and get started on shooting again. I’m also in the process of upgrading my home editing system and so that will help expedite the logging and editing process. Working full-time doesn’t leave a lot of time to work on the film on nights and weekends and so having a top-of-the-line computer is a must!
I just found out that the story about me making the FREE HUGS IN HOLLYWOOD video will appear in the next “CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL: Life Lessons for Mastering the Law Of Attraction” book due out this month!! (March, 08) My story appears in the “Inspired Acts” chapter. Yay! And thank goodness the writer mentioned my documentary, by name! So now I need to get that website up pronto! If you haven’t already seen it enough times and you would like to view the FREE HUGS IN HOLLYWOOD video, click here: http://lisamurray.com/vidA3.htm (Turn your speakers on!)
I am training to run in the San Diego Half-Marathon on June 8th. (13.1 miles) I am being trained by Team in Training and in exchange I am raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and guess what? I am the TOP CONTRIBUTOR! Woo woo!! In only 2 weeks I have raised $2900! If you donate even just $25, I will mention your name in my video blog on YouTube AND if you donate $50, I’ll write your name (or the name of your film project?) on my body on race day! I have added some other fun and silly incentives to donate. (Like having lunch with me while I video blog it and upload it to YouTube! Or getting “I Have Dreams Dammit!” merchandise in exchange for your donation!) I have also recorded a video blog about why I am doing this half marathon (and will continue to upload video blogs until after I complete the race) which is on my race page: http://www.active.com/donate/tntgla/lisamurray
