Bringing clearer focus to my news feed.

As I said, I shoot for three productions per quarter. In production now 62 min. If I average out on this process, I will call it a win. I send all productions to a marketplace/distributor.

The trick is, can it make $? This quarter will be a shake-down to get the workflow operational. Interestingly, all of these platforms are considered TV. If you are interested, please join my film group, Lake City Film Club—FB Group. I always look for actors (no gender term) or people to interview. I also make up for two-plus years (three with the shutdown). "No place to go but up!" This kind of post does help me. I get the occasional IM that makes it worth the time to spell-check it, LOL. I also get a lot of bots named Kikie It can be a toss-up.
