Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted..

1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
4. Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action.
5. Start as close to the end as possible.
6. Be a Sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them—in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.

... Thanks, man.

Out of This World

Stumbled across these two videos. The first is my favorite. Something simple. Classical music and Space/Time- nothing better. The second video is a close second. Enjoy.

2009 Recap and Update

Spring 2009

Post 2008 election SaysMe.TV began a new journey-Brand Integration. After successful test launches with the Style Network, Myspace and others, SaysMe began their mission to bring brands and User-Sponsored TV Commercials directly to consumers and small businesses.

Summer 2009

Over the summer we produced a documentary, shot an international infomercial, went to the beach, produced a sizzle reel for Horizon Media, and began a project around voter registration.

Fall 2009

When the summer turned to fall we hung up the board shorts, switched from flip-flops to low tops and dove into the demand we created. We shot a dozen web based videos for various not for profits in the greater Los Angeles area including an online piece for The Boys and Girls Club. We also produced a media package for Latin Grammy Winner Jose Hernandez and Mariachi Sol de Mexico. We began conceptualizing an online-based voter registration initiative with the help of Congressional Candidate, Teresa Hernandez.

Winter 2009/Now

As we approach the new year we look ahead to a year of growth. 2010 looks to be a year of global impact. We are excited to grow and looking for people who want to be apart of our team!

The future is bright and though uncertain, we remain confident that we can over come the challenges ahead. We've become dedicated to surrounding ourselves around positive problem solvers.
