Interview with a Hollywood Agent

This article caught my attention as soon as I seen the statement reading: "The number of wide-release films made this year fell over 30 percent from 2007." "What!!?" I said of course petrified because this is the industry that I want to set my career in. After seeing such a remark I had to look further into the article. I was happy to read that a fine man named Patrick Whitesell, said that the same number of people who attended the movies ten years ago still attend the movies today. That was a major weight off my back because who wants to go into a field that's doing poorly? I don't! But thanks to Mr. Whitesell, I'm reassured that my future aspirations are still realistic; I simply have to be great at it. What do I say to that?.........Can do! : )

Kite Runner Project

The Project that I am doing is a sound track for The Kite Runner because I grew up listening to middle eastern music. I actually listen to it for my own leisure on my own time so this should be no problem! :)
