Action!

Greetings and welcome to Cinemusing! I’m Brian Johnson, a wannabe director, and this is where I will be chronicling my adventures in film production, whatever they may be.

The dream, of course, is to end up with “Directed by Brian Johnson” on a movie screen, a real theater movie screen somewhere. Limited release, wide release, I don’t care. Oh, and it has to be a feature-length production: Short films are nice and all, but I want to direct a feature film someday.

Like any good movie, my life has a backstory relevant to this blog that leads up to this date. As time permits, I will briefly present that information; but otherwise it will mostly be a look forward as I work my way up (hopefully) to accomplish some version of my dream. Entries of a given production’s activities for the day will be interspersed with my thoughts (rants) on cinematic techniques and ideas I come across in my quest.

I hope you’ll stick around, either as an encouraging fan, or a newbie film maker yourself who wants to learn from someone else’s mistakes, or as a seasoned veteran who can point me in the right direction when needed.

So here we go!
