    Award Winning Film Makers?

    Award Winning Film Makers?

    In this episode we listen in on some heated dialogue between Executive Producer Chris Krimitsos and Film Makers Neil Guilarte and Willie Harper.
     
    When a band who players covers suddenly announces "This next song is one of our own" everyone in the club sits back, crosses their arms, and thinks, "OK, Let's see what you got." 
     
    On the other hand, I've purchased music before simply due to the fat that they had one "Artist of the Year." 
     
    So Chris suggested taking the phrase "Award Winning Film Makers" out of the trailer, and the following dialogue takes place. 
     
    SUPPORT THE FILM
    We are close to achieving our goal, but we only have a little more than a week to reach our goal. Remember the goal is just the bare bones amount we need to squeak by and the film done.  
    Please ANY AMOUNT WILL HELP
