   From the nights of Cabiria to the nights of the Dolce Vita, from the touching appearance of Giuletta Massina to the exceptional glamor of Anita Ekberg, I lived up and down a life time coming out of a Fellini's film. Permanently searching for my dreams as an artist to come true as well as searching for The total and absolute Love to live. I escaped from the neo-realism of my youth when I turned twenty and went to search for them both. The adventure began. In the very early 70's. Here are for you some extracts.
   Want to be closer to me? Hollywood and BH lovers WELCOME!

   Looks like a cool group, John.
   
   I have written 4 full-length screenplays and a couple of shorts, and worked on a couple of indie productions. Since I became a mom a efw years ago, I haven't had time to write anything but my blog and a couple of books about my kids' adoptions, but I am still passionately interested in film.
   
   To my astonishment, a producer contacted me recently about a script I sent him several years ago. It may get made one of these days - who knows?!
   
   I write irreverent movie reviews if you want to check out my blog on that:

   Take care,

   Ok, I don't write or film, but my brother does and my 14yo son helps him out sometimes. He (my bro) just won yet another Aussie award for his amateur films and is working on a much longer film.
   
   However, I do have an imagination extraordinaire, and I do love films and even better I am a Master of NLP and Coaching, so hopefully I can add a few comments here and there that can illuminate this group or at the very least leave you all laughing:) .

   I used to be part of the hollywood scene...... it was fun while I was in it, but it got old and I could not stand working with actors that had ridiculous demands.
   
   BUT I must say looking back, I will always cherish my crazy hollywood days of going to the cannes film festivals and flying in private jets with a-listers as their personal slave!
   
   Keep the dream alive and have fun with your hollywood adventure.

   At the age of three my father instilled the love of film. Weekly we would go to the matinee and see whatever was playing. As I grew up I fell in love with artfilms and film festivals. Currently, I have imparted this love of movie viewing to my children. We are always up for a good movie. I love photography and am self taught. I'm a writer and enjoy taking photos for my writings as well as photos of my children.
   My eldest daughter is doing a design degree as well as wanting to go to film school.

   I guess everyone's tired of the same "hi, hello" introduce yourself phrase, but I can't think of anything else right now...so "Hi! Hello!"^^ I'm Drew. My blogs are not about film but about FREE Blogger Templates (templatize.blogspot.com) and FREE English tips (englishtrainer.blogspot.com), however, I do love watching movies. I have already dreamt of becoming a movie star. Hahaha! And most importantly, I would really like to study 3d animation and make my own movie like Final Fantasy or Appleseed. (yeah, ambitious dream^^)

    Hey there! My name is Krissy and I'm a web / graphic designer from Baltimore, MD. I run a design website (6bdesign.com) and a pop-culture type blog (blendetta.com). I managed an indie music store which sold CDs, movies and games for 8 years. I guess you could say I was a part of "the industry" - just at it's lowest level. I at least got the opportunity to meet John Waters a few times! : ]

    Heya. I'm an author. Mostly www.millvexations.com but I'm also slowly working on hyping www.helljammer.com if things go well. I live in Michigan and Arizona--almost simutaniously, but wouldn't that be a trick.
    
    I came over here because I found Darko on Digg a while back and liked an article written on Hollyweird.

    Heya, I'm Elana and if I were doing this in person I would hate every second of it I've always loathed the group intro stuff. Thankfully this forum alleviates some of that socially-sanctioned torture. John, my question to you is...When do you sleep? Lol. You are one busy hombre... back to me...I'm a female with a non-stop brain and an insatiable need to express myself in myriad ways. I'm at www.nowiseeyou.blogspot.com and I think my blog is really wonderful. It simply allows me to just put stuff out there that I'm really excited about or just want to shout out, you know? THanks for listening! Peace 'n' warmth all...PS. John waddya think of Tarkovsky?

    Hi John! thanks for inviting me to your group. It's quite a thrill for me meeting a filmmaker such as yourself. I'm not really involved IN the filmmaking industry though I am also in media. I'm a broadcast journalist currently managing a community FM radio station. I also had stints in print (being a journalism graduate) but surprisingly I always get myself involved in radio.
    
    A pleasure meeting you again.

    Hi!
    I'm happy to have found this group. My blog is mostly about my relationship with my husband. He graduated from film school recently and is already traveling all over the country (and outside of the country) working as a Director of Photography. I talk about my frustrations of being left behind to raise the kids while he focuses on making his dreams come true. My husband and I are also professional photographers and ran a successful photography business, but have put that on hold so that we could focus on other things.
