“Tiffany, a young girl with a tremendous singing talent, is lured away from her high school sweetheart into the world of street prostitution by a charismatic pimp.”

Girl 214 is my first feature movie project. Self-funded, produced and directed.

I wrote the screenplay several years ago, and I’ve been chipping away at it ever since.

It’s a Dallas story, and I’d moved up there for a few years to capture all my establishing shots and most of my B-roll. I’ll more than likely have to go back for a shot here or there but I’m confident that I have enough coverage to complete it here in New Orleans.

While there in Dallas, I walked the streets to get a feel for the city’s vibe and its culture. That helped tremendously and allowed me to revise my script so that I could come to a more accurate representation with my presentation.

There’s nothing better than having your feet on the ground where you can see, taste, smell, hear and see a city. That’s the only way it will reveal itself. You must be where it is.

I knew it would be a long journey, and I’m okay with where I’m at so far; however, I’m in the process of stepping it up a bit. It’s time to get that ball rolling again.

The great thing is that, unlike Dallas, here in New Orleans, there’s already a well-established film community in place, with plenty of resources and talented actors ready for an opportunity. Being a native also gives me an advantage in that I can call on all my friends for favors and help. Believe me, I intend to exploit each and every one of them to exhaustion.

I may not have any friends after this. Ha! Stay tuned.

This gorgeous work of art has now been passed down to me.

It is my mother’s, and she hasn’t driven it in over a decade. It has been sitting in the same spot ever since she purchased a new vehicle in 2012.

Unbelievably, those tires are still holding some air. I’d purchased them for her brand new just before the truck began having some mechanical issues. A malfunction of the transmission caused it to drop into limp mode while driving at highway speed. It’s a common problem with Dodge transmissions of this era.

Was I looking for a project? Absolutely not!

Will I take it on because my mother wants me to have it and fix it up? Definitely.

Someone somehow broke the rear passenger window. It could have been a projectile from a lawnmower or maybe some kid throwing rocks. Who knows? I haven’t looked inside yet because it’s filled with wasps and who knows what else.

I’m going to take a slow and precautionary tiptoe around the exterior before opening stuff up. I don’t want to be stung or bitten by black widows. I’m sure other varmints and critters have lived in it at one time or another, too.

This is going to take some time.

Nighttime wasp spraying and knocking down all those nests are next.

Stay tuned.
