Following the Movie Making Dream (or Nightmare) on Twitter – I finally joined

I thought I was going to be the last hold out for getting on the Twitter band wagon, but I was wrong. It’s just too powerful of a communication tool to avoid, even if you’re swamped and falling behind on updating and fully using all your existing social media profiles. You can now view and follw me on my official twitter page at http://twitter.com/solro

My goals is to tweet or update twitter EVERY day and I’ve already started doing that. I get asked all the time (what are you working on in your movie projects RIGHT now). I can point them to blog articles and all kinds of long winded things, but they really just want the once sentence immediate action and that’s what twitter is going to provide. If you want to know EXACTLY what we’re working on, follow me on twitter and you’ll be present for the crazy roller coaster ride of trying to take an idea and turn it into a realty. I was taking a walk with my father today and after having a discussion about the deal I’m trying to put together on this new project I had to agree with him that I choose to pursue one of the hardest occupations and areas I possibly could. I also wouldn’t have it any other way. One of the cooler uses of twitter I saw work amazingly well, was for live feedback on bloblive presentations. Bloblive is like an open mic night for entrepreneurs and I’ve spoken there about open source and collaborative films many times. I even appeared in an article on front page of business section in the LA Times due to such an appearance. At Bloblive events a projection shows the current bloblive twitter feed. Since the video is streamed online in real time, members of the live audience or the internet can submit feedback via twitter and it appears DIRECTLY behind the person presenting. It’s cool, it’s intense, and a great use of twitter’s technology. I don’t have anything that amazing to use twitter for right now. It’s just a bunch of micro updates on the filmmaking process, but I’ve been asked about twitter so many times in addition to the bombardment of “what are you doing right now” that it was long overdue. SO FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER.
