YEARGH

     I'm at my parents' house and getting very anxious to get back to Binghamton tomorrow. Zona opened last night and on Christmas night and again tonight and will "officially open" on NYE which is also when I need to be filming the Masquerade. I am getting flustered since I'm not there. angry even.

     Used a loop Christine made for the video and I think it's just about done. it went from 5 minutes - 4 minutes to now less than two. I've been cutting information out left and right so it's not too explanatory.

     Found out that in New York State there's a 30% tax redemption or whatever (I know nothing about taxes) on all costs associated with making a film.... then I found out documentaries don't count. I guess it's probably because the state is hoping to increase employment opportunities by helping productions and realizes documentaries employ not many people at all.

     Trying to figure out the best way to capture BingSpot talking about or promoting Zona.

     Realized I need permission to film large groups of people and have called the guys from Arkansas to see if they have any advice. they said just put a sign at the door giving people a heads up. I also posted on LinkedIn and got some good advice there too. basically just get the property owner's permission then put a sign up.

That's all for now.
