Down Poor is up to more than you may know...

So during the video we have on Indiegogo , I mention our expansion.

Curious?
If you watch our CONTACTS page on our website you may notice it is slowly growing. We have been discussing more than just our next film, but larger budgets, direct lines to distribution, new investors, business loans, consulting with city planners, and education amongst other plans.

Education? We don't just love film, but I love helping other people find the pieces they are missing. Some times that's knowledge. Not only have we discussed assisting Billy Wylde form a stunt team with the assistance of Robery Bradley's Gunfighters from Ghost Town in The Sky, but he has also jumped on board with the idea of teaching others. Part of this comes from the closing of URTV and attempts to build support for the Western Carolina Film Co-Op (check out of facebook).

Not only are we gathering a dedicated team of people who have volunteered months of their time already for the creation of film, but some are helping with the always elusive distribution. Mara Breindel has also joined our team and with her experience at Tartan Extreme, she will be representing us in the vast market of distributors.

Zach Johnson has become infected with the Down Poor disease, and after working as DP on "Corners, his second project with us, he decided to jump in. Currently planning his arrangements to relocate here in Asheville, Zach has provided us with the current trailer for "Corners" which was originally cut solely for the wrap party.

Many of you have probably noticed a huge increase in the regular activity on the Down Poor Social Network, that is mostly thanks to Bailey Townley. After stepping up to the difficult position as Assistant Director and Script Supervisor on the set of "Corners", Bailey agreed to come on under an intern position.

All of our team members come on board with diverse talents and skills. We hope you will get to know them better in the coming months. Of course Sam and I are still here and over the next few months we really have our work cut out for us. Ringside Rosary is nearing the end of post production and is coming out so well it is surprising the writers, editors, and staff in general. Shot for less than $10,000, 10 thousand times better than our first project, and with CORNERS on it way into post, we are hoping you can feel the excitement.
That's it for now. The struggle never ends... keep fighting the good fight filmmakers.
