I'm going HUNTING!




OK. I grew up in the Upper Michigan where you weren't a real man/boy, unless you toted a rifle and shot and killed just about any animal that moved... no, really!

I'm using those tracking skills (that I didn't really learn anyway, cuz I hated guns) to find my talent and crew for bUs tRip. It's actually a fun process and I'm enjoying it.

I'm really honing into my "street wise" skills of going with my gut instincts in determining those who might be perfect for the job(s). It's really more about respect, the vibe, energy, than sheer experience.

For instance, when meeting my current casting director, Nina Henninger it was like meeting an old friend that I hadn't talked to for a few years and we connected like old souls.

We've got the script out to some top talent, great cinematographers and possible executive producers to find us the dough.... show me the dough!

Like the rehearsal photo above, when Jose attacks Jeff.... so does the director, "attack" his prey of the best in the business to join his posse. Over and out, yah!
