Week 557: Preproduction Is Rolling - Official Entertainment Website MotownMaurice.com

Weekly Written Review 

I officially started scouting for locations this week and so far so good. In addition, I have an official website for the first time in my entertainment career.

Week 556: Obsessing Confirms It's Time

Weekly Written Review 

One thing about me. When my mind begins obsessing about an idea, it's time. It's time to move forward. It's time to take action. It's time to set goals. It's time to get it accomplished. After 5 years of revising my script, I now have the knowledge, wisdom, and most importantly the confidence to make it happen. It's just a matter of building the right team, which I'm am in the process of doing. This will be my first feature film but it's nothing I'm not capable of accomplishing. The only difference is paperwork. Let the journey begin.
