[Elfsea] Off Topic

This is off topic (soft of), feel free to delete.

I am in the process or looking into the creation of an Indie film company.

Those who have have had a chance to get to know me will recall that I'm a 
novelist. I have a background in film from college and highschool that I 
have never explored. Well, will the cost of good digital film equipment 
(miniDV camcorders, image processing programs like Adobe Premiere, etc) 
coming way down, and the explosion in fan films, I've decided to explore the 
potential of this medium.

What I hope to do - Create a small Indie Film production company, likely a 
401(c)3, for the purpose of producing both known works and unknown works 
that are unlikely to ever be produced.

When I hope to do this - I would like to begin production of our first 
project within 1 (one) year.

Where - Texas is a big stage to play on.

How - by hook or by crook.

What I need - like minded people who would like to participate in a unique 
project spanning several years likely and taking some of their spare time. i 
don't want your money, but I'll happily take your blood, sweat, and likely 
tears.

A number of first projects have been proposed and thought of by myself. 
Included are a number of works by R.A. Heinlein, a post apocolypse sci-fi 
fantasy story called Ariel (don't have the author handy), a few stories of 
mine and some original stuff I'm working on centered around the SCA.

If this sort of project interests you, feel free to respond to me off list.
