Seeking Fiscal Sponsorship

So I've decided to submit a plan to the New York Foundation for the Arts for Fiscal Sponsorship. As part of this plan, should it go through and I be approved for sponsorship, would allow me to purchase a new computer, some programs to put on it (like Final Cut Pro), and some trips to LA and Greece. It's not due until May, so I don't have to rush too much.

Most of the computer budget is put together; it's just a matter of talking to a travel agent about potential packages and figuring out the cost for those. Then I'll ask NYFA what their average budget for the projects they approve for sponsorship, then take it from there.

Most of my focus this week, however, is to work on passing the driver's test, which I'm taking next Monday (February 4th).

Location, Location

I've been in hiding the last couple of weeks. I have been in the process of trying to straighten things around with my trip to Austin, exploring new avenues of income, and planning out this movie, among other things.

Well, I made the first step toward the production just now. I sent out e-mails to locations I might be using during production. I haven't even written the movie yet, but I have some ideas visualized as to where I want to shoot. Here are the locations I'm looking into:

I'm not worried about the last one, because I know the owners well enough that I'll just ask them the next time I'm in their store...or something.
