Early last week I finally put together a quick teaser for my untitled rubber stamp project. Good Lord I'm far from finished with the whole thing, but it's something to see parts of it coming to life.
It's to the point where I think it's detrimental trying to do the entire thing by myself. Having a project teaser at leasts gives me something to send out to those possibly interested: crew, producers, production companies, etc. There's still a pitch deck to put together and at least a rough budget to figure out so I have some kind of answer when asked what I think I need. Ideally I'd love to land an executive producer who's been down this road before so I'd have help asking the questions I don't know to ask. So far it's helped start some additional conversations and hopefully too it'll help add some legitimacy to the cold emails, text messages, and DMs I'm sending out.
I've done documentary work since I started behind a camera, but I think this project has legs enough to be seen by more than my immediate family and those 10-15 regulars on Vimeo.
There's plenty more interviews I'm wanting to do and topics to chase down. There's a few people I want to talk to here in the US plus Europe, Australia, and Japan. With what I have so far, I'm pretty sure I could put out a festival ready short or possible feature length film. Being ambitious, it's not out of the question to see it as a docuseries considering what I've learned so far.
