Letter To You (STOP SOPA and PIPA)

I am a fellow Blogger, that writes this post hoping to get your attention. I urge you as my reader to really look what SOPA and PIPA can do to you! If PIPA and SOPA act passes this will be the start of a very agressive censorship to any type of artistic expression. I speak of myself that I am an Aspiring Filmmaker, who hopes that one day with the help of the Internet I can fulfill my dream job as a working media creator or filmmaker.
 
If we start censoring artistic expressions through out the Internet this gives power to those giant corporations to shape up this country and take control of our freedom.
 
If this bill passes… people’s artistic expression will be taken away. Because of big corporations that are failing to innovate and move forward to bring what the audience wants.  Just imagine a future where cinema and television can not compete with creative people or discover creative people on the Internet. This Act will strip future writers from writing an original piece — which piece is original and have the potential to change the world.
 
And again I urge you to  Stop PIPA and the Sopa act by signing a petition to your elected official. Don’t be afraid to give ‘em your opinion.
 
Sincerely.
Victor Gregory
P.S. AWSY.net will be dark tomorrow too! Protesting this outrageous acts.

You know what I hate doing? Shouting for money!!

As all we know I am doing a fundraiser on kickstarter. For my new short science fiction movie The Intruders. So far its going slow and I am a little bit worried, I think is not doing very well. So far I have only reached 2% of my goal amount…do you know what two percent means to me? FAIL…I know I can’t say much because I only have 77 days left. But come on…I try twittering, I facebook, emails!? Nothing I start to feel like if was one of those lonely spammers in this cyberspace. I try to approach people…I tried to make a better video pitch to my kickstarter and see but hell I hate being in front of the camera.

I have been trying to hard and so far nothing. I am doing what I hate most…shouting out for money to get this great project on board. I really don’t know how to market myself…this is not my thing. I just do things, get it cut and presented to people. I am no PR (public relations) person.

I do want to make this film…one of my friends said this movie must be done. People loves your story and it’s hillarious. Come on!! A Tea Bag activist being abducted by Aliens? It’s funny a movie. All I have to comment that I would like to make but it would be possible if I have people like you backing this project. What if you can’t? It does not matter at least let your friends know about it. Share the news!

Please help me make my new short The Intruders in to an actual movie!
