Hey everyone! In case you haven’t read my first two posts about Do Not Disturb, I’m a simple little online journalist who nearly 2 months ago now decided to make a film herself. I know I haven’t been very good about keeping your updated, but this whole “producing a film” thing is rather time consuming! 
The set officially went up today, two days early thanks to Ray and Kent over at New Master’s Studios and it looks AMAZING.
We will be painting this Saturday with a group of professionals and kind friends. I started moving in some of the props and set decorations today.

Journalists, or even worse, bloggers are known for (sorry friends) being complainers. Of course I like to think that I am the exception, but come on now, I’ve done my share of bitching and said plenty of “not nice” things to those far superior than I. Nothing is ever right. We complain about the costumes, we say the story isn’t good enough, the actors don’t know how to act… etc. etc.
If you know me, you know I hate writing anything about myself. I attempt never to use the word “I”, I leave myself out of tweets, and try to put a journalists spin on our coverage. The few times I have walked red carpets I’ve felt more uncomfortable than you could imagine.
