Meeting with a second producer scheduled

I have a meeting with another producer this week to talk about my show. I am looking for guidance and advice and hope that he can point me in the right direction and hopefully connect me with some people in the industry who can help me make my dream a reality.

Inspiration from friendly faces

Every time I look at my friend's photos on facebook, it makes me want to travel even more. I have never felt so alive from anything else I have experienced the way I do with travel. You never know what will happen, you can't prepare for it no-matter how hard you try and it will change you forever. That's the best thing about it. To see my friend's have amazing experiences, to see their photos at places I dream of going, only makes me want to get there even faster. I can't wait to explore the places I have been dying to go to, to discover things I never knew existed and to meet people who will change my life forever. I live for traveling and I feel its only the beginning. . . .

Producer Meeting Numero Uno

Today I had my first meeting with a producer to talk about my show. It was AMAZINGGGGGGG.

First of all, this is something I have dreamed of doing and talked about doing for over four years. To finally have a meeting with a producer is such an uplifting feeling I really can't describe it. Not only any producer, but a producer who has a ton of experience in making tv shows and in one of the biggest production cities in America!! It allows me to believe that my dream can become a reality and I can make it happen. During the meeting he gave me advice on what I should do to get to where I want to be. All of the difficult moments in life will be much easier knowing I am working towards my dream. I haven't stopped smiling since the meeting ended. This producer was so helpful, that I had asked him if he had any books he could recommend I read on the topic, he couldn't think of any so we went across the street to Barnes and Noble so he could help me find some. I couldn't have asked for a nicer person who is knowledgeable on the subject to help. I feel really good about deciding to make this show and I feel there are only good things to come of it. Here's to believing in a dream and the start of making it come true. . . . . . . . .

Meeting With Producer Scheduled

Soooo I officially have a meeting with an official producer in Chicago to talk about my show!!! And he thinks its a good idea!! Could not be more excited. I feel like its all lining up and coming into play!!! Wednesday at 1:00 could not come sooner!!! :)

Strolling to the South Side

My next step in this process is to go down to an area in the south side of Chicago called Hyde Park. Its one of the places I would like to shoot for the show and I really want to get an idea before we start shooting of what we will be shooting. Restaurants, parks, buildings, we'll try to set up some interviews with people. That way we will at least be on the right track and getting it started!! One step at a time, I'm really excited to get this project rolling!!

Spring is Here!!

Spring is here and I can't wait to start filming!!! I wanted to wait until the weather was warmer in Chicago to start filming and I am really excited to get started. Before I begin, I want to consult some professionals in the industry since I have no prior experience in filming and producing. I am currently setting up appointments with some producers in Chicago and hope they can point me in the right direction. I know I have a long road and a lot of work ahead of me, so the last thing I want to do is to make it longer by not asking for help. I have also been bit by the travel bug pretty bad lately and can't wait to take another trip, have some awesome experiences and meet some amazing people to inspire me even more.
