Hey guys & dolls (real & imaginary!)
It's been a little bit. Sorry about that, always lots to do (writing ... re-writing exciting, no?) and cool stuff going on, which is a good problem to have.
It's been a GREAT month for us here at Make Believe, and hopefully for yourselves. Met lots of cool new people since Kevin Smith talked about us. If you're one of those people, thanks for stopping by! If you're one of our regulars (NORM!) thanks for stopping by again as well!
It's cool that so many people check in on us and take their time, which could be filled with really important things, to listen to us ramble on.
And ramble on I will!
It's getting close to Summer again (if you're in the south, it's been summer since late February) but things they are a changin'.
Eric has been out, making his way in the City of Angels for almost two years now and finally I'm getting ready to join him. After many false starts and close calls, it's time.
Well, close to time. The plans are to move my happy little family out before school starts (September).
It's extremely exciting but there's the fear of the unknown thrown in there to spice things up. Not to mention driving across the entire country.
I've flirted with the West Coast since 2005, when I fell in love and have yet to return. That changes in three short months.
The journey of 2520 miles all starts with one step.
I've been researching the city, and surrounding areas for so long, it'll be amazing to be face to face with these things again (and most for the first time.) We're checking out apartments, we're making the preparations, it's amazing and mind-bending all at the same time.
Hopefully I can keep you guys updated on that and just like The Make Believe Picture Company's journey to CHANGE Hollywood, one story at a time, you can come along with me on the actual JOURNEY to physically get there ;-)
I'll talk to you lovely people soon, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, recipes, wives tales, or anything feel free to hit us up!

Jay and Silent Blog Strike Back
So ... we've had a pretty awesome couple weeks at Make Believe and I do hope yours have been just as good!
As you may've heard, The Make Believe Picture Company will have a promo this coming Monday, May 16th, with none other than Kevin Smith on his popular Smodcast Internet Radio!
(Cheap plug #1: Listen at www.Smodcast.com, Monday May 16th, time & details coming soon)
Not only is this a huge opportunity for us, to open up and show the world who we are, what we've got to offer and how we like to do things (how we roll, for the hip imaginary crowd). Professionally it's a MAJOR milestone but personally this is something that I will always remember.
Imaginary audience, you guys know me pretty well, but in case you are new on the scene, I'm a major cinephile. I live and breath movies. I study movies. I LOVE movies. I can't get enough.
And being that huge cinephile, when I finally found Clerks, my and the world's introduction to Kevin Smith, I was in love.
This guy talked like me, he thought like me, his characters were people you'd not only want to know, but they were people you'd want to be friends with. It was a totally different style of movies (and movie-making) that I'd never seen before.
Then to know that he did it on his own? Without the help of the Hollywood establishment? I was sold.
I look up to the greats, and while Smith is certainly no Scorsese, he was the first truly accessible guy, a guy like me, that made it through hard work, determination and great stories.
He showed me that with enough moxie, you can really do what you want to do.
For the company I'm half a part of, to even be MENTIONED by somebody I hold in such high regards is an amazing feat. One that I'm extremely proud of and grateful for.
It's the first in, hopefully, a long line of personal and professional milestones for us. And I truly hope you guys are here with us (oh, sexy imagined readers and friends) and I hope that you guys enjoy the ride as much as we will.
So stay tuned for more exciting news! Hit up the site! Check us out on Facebook, follow Eric and myself on Twitter. Get your fill of Make Believe, help us change Hollywood, one film at a time.
Take care of yourselves and we'll see you back here soon!
