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!
