Viva La France. Reviving "The Past".

Today is Bastille Day meaning that it's French Independence Day. After spending some time in France and Germany and the rest of Europe; I can say that I really had an overall pleasant experience in France over Germany. I consider it almost a second or third home to Hawaii being the first. And I have another stalker to add to the list too. Jesus Christ bananas people.

I found a giant busted binder full of notes that was written between 2003 to 2006. That would be the years I spent living in Europe. I found a lot of crazy shit in there that made me feel like that "lost American living in Europe" that I used to have. Going into shops and having to speak a totally different language other than English to get what I wanted. I had to be on my toes in order to speak either German or French because it's not only speaking it, it's hearing the people respond back to me and having to translate that within an instant of it being said.

Back to that binder, I found my passion again. I found a film I started writing in 2004 and I am totally wanting to do it. Since the filming for Traumatic Possession 3D: Apocalypse is probably getting pushed back, we could probably film this in it's place. That film was called And the Past Was Us. I remember thinking about that film for years. Even back when I was writing the stuff for Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape.

I want to break away from horror and show how I can handle different genres. With having a studio, I want to cater to everyone. Make a comedy, horror, romance, etc. This film, And the Past Was Us is a film that does not have a basic protagonist/antagonist story to it; it's about a man who goes through hell and back. I started writing it while I was with my first ex-fiancee. Will I convert the film to 3D? Of course.

When will these planned films debut? For the film festival. We are going to do some kickstarter or indie-go-go campaign to raise money to take the films on the road. We'll screen all the films together back to back. I'm thinking we'll have the first screenings be in Columbus, back at the Grandview. Then, after that, Hawai'i?
