Ok, so after a long process of swishing ideas in my head, I finally went with the 3 suggestions made to me........the evolution of military tattoos and memorial tattoos.
Given that I am Active Duty Army, I have access to a lot of resources and for us military folk, we have a unique way of communicating. This will make things easier. This topic will show how the military tattoo came to be and for those of you who are not familiar it is a inspirational history. More importantly, talking about the memorial tattoo will showcase Soldiers stories behind the ink. It is our chance to tell the world what the Soldier goes through, the REAL sacrifices that are made and what it means to be a part of something that is more than oneself.
Currently, I just made contact with a lady named Kate who worked with "Sailor Jerry". If you don't know who I am talking about, get this DVD because you are in for a treat. We are also going to be advertising for Soldiers to come tell their stories so I am expecting this film to be a very unique and memorable piece.
More to come.......

Everything is moving along well. I am constantly at the computer reading and sending emails. I am on the phone talking to everyone! I recently just got permission from a museum to use their copyrighted material in my film....for free. I am talking to other museums in Britain, Egypt and Japan.
The script is a pain in the butt because it is a never-ending process of revising. The interviewing will help guide the process better but non-the-less, it is frustrating but oddly enough, I am loving it. We are about to sit down and come up with the shooting schedule. I am plugging in exactly what shots I want where so we can start filming it (ie; city scape, crowds walking...ect.)
Constantly staying on top of every detail is vital in producing this. I have a notebook and I write down every person and business I talk to with names, numbers, addresses, what we talked about, time and date we talked, notes if I should call back or whatever. Keeping everything organized and people informed is crucial for having things run as smooth as they can be.
