Paying the bills ... http://www.kingmemovie.com/?p=535 Sorry for the gap in posts. Just a quick update: Principal photography for King Me is complete and editorial is in full swing.

I ... http://www.kingmemovie.com/?p=463 We're heading home today. Yesterday was a pretty major production marathon. If you ever get a chance to attend a checker tournament I highly recommend the experience.

We've ... http://www.kingmemovie.com/?p=418 The dog days of summer are definitely here in Tennessee. The air is pretty thick down here, 97 degrees and God knows what the humidity percentage is.
