Day 20 of 3,653: The NonDē Film Legal Lab is Live!

Day 20 of 3,653 of my NonDē Film career (warts and all). I’m committing the next 10 years from 40 to 50– all in and sharing the process.

Dear Filmmaker,

When gravity builds, mass moves fast.

Day 20 of 3,653 of my NonDē Film career (warts and all). I’m committing the next 10 years from 40 to 50– all in and sharing the process.

Today’s log:

• Happy Martin Luther King, Jr Day. We must remain vigilant to protect our fellow citizens’ civil rights as he did and so many others did.

• Cleaned the floors with a razor blade.

• Great small lunch with the Wife and Sis today!

• Bad dinner. Stomach crashed. Tonight’s takeout is a no-go.

Today’s Band of the Day: The Offspring

Today’s NonDē Film Log:

• Worked on Burying Doris.

• Launched MVP of NonDē Filmmaking Legal Lab

• Recorded the Lab’s first video walkthrough.

• Locked in on organizing myself and my goals.

We can all do it.

Together, with faith.

How I Sustain the Work Being a “NonDē Filmmaker” (Non-Dependent) means I rely on this community, not a corporation. If you want to support the work I do here, you can:

• Join the Lab: Attorney-drafted templates & legal guides for NonDē film

• Buy the Book: The Modern Filmmaker’s On-Set Dictionary

• Hire Goodworks: My commercial production company

• Book a Consult: Get 1-on-1 producing advice

• Support the Build: Follow along as I build a local micro drive-in

Every book sale, booking, and donation buys me the time to keep writing.

Thank you
