It's been way too long since I have provided any news or blogs. Originally the grand launch of this site was supposed to be in mid-march. However, with all the opportunity and hard work that has been involved, I figured anything that is worth doing is worth doing right. The ideas and concepts are growing daily as well as the content. I have decidedly taken a new direction that is to say that I plan setting my sights on providing resources that are a compilation of test projects and teaching tools that I collected in college studying production,  and new resources congealed together in one place that I can remember were hard for me to find when I needed them , young, struggling to do projects the right way. We live in a media savvy society. I want both amateurs and evolving professionals to realize the power you can harness when you know how. And I remember the way it was.. the bug that bit me when I edited my first small feature, and the thirst I had to know more , as well as the chaotic hubris I had thinking that film was simple, making features and movies was as easy as buying a camcorder and writing a "cool story". Finally In the month of my 33rd birthday I realize how wrong I had been and how many years it took me to appreciate the cross pollination of different  knowledge and interdisciplinary values. In short 17 years into my journey I realized how wrong I had been when I started out  thinking that  getting some sort of camera was all I needed when in actuality its  a mere .00089% of the process.  For this reason I hope that someone through tjparsons .com can gain some info, have a laugh, gain interest or distaste in film after fully understanding what a fun, but sometimes pain in the ass it is. Sometimes you succeed, sometimes you fail, but always come away with a lesson learned and a more efficient way to do something or something or people to avoid in the next project .. film is an experience as is life. Highly addictive. Lets see all this takes us. I'll do my best not to disappoint.

At this point I have to give a special thanks to Matt Chellini who is slaving away at making this site what it is , far exceeding my dreams and expectations. He is the man that sculpts carefully  items that are seldom seen, almost never known about and almost always taken for granted by anyone who purchases or authors a website. He takes special care to take all of the clients needs into consideration. I highly recommend working with him if you haven't already. I shamefully admit that tjparsons.com is not an apt name for this site, it should be for all the work he has put in, be something like Chellini-parsons.com listing his name first , because if I would have done it myself  the site  wouldn't have been worth the time to surf  over and check it out.

I have to be honest, when he told me a myriad of these things were easily doable I have to admit that I was skeptical. But through the evolution of this process I have seen things that lend way to new energies, new opportunities and creative solutions.

And thanks to RR Moore for coming on board and helping kick start the review section. We seldom have the same opinion about a lot of things but I find his company, writing and wit enjoyable to the highest degree. 

thanks for stopping by,
