Jerome plays Trent The Artist
When I completed the script for
this movie, I felt strongly that it deserved to be produced. I thought it had
something to say about a generation of people and should be made. But...I didn't
know how to produce. Thus began my filmmaking adventure.
Making this
movie has been a hell of a journey. A journey of consuming work, endless hours,
enormous sacrifice, battles, begging, borrowing, and robbing banks. Well, not
the robbing banks part, but that makes it sound kind of sexy.
I did nearly everything to bring this project to fruition, to completion, and
finally into distribution. As difficult as it's been, it has been worth it. Not
only in terms of growth as a filmmaker and producer, but also in terms of mental/emotional/spiritual
growth. And the internal gratification I feel from accomplishing something that
meant a lot to me is tremendous.
The
kicker to all this? The movie works on two levels. On one level, pure entertainment.
Someone can just sit down, enjoy the movie and not "think" about it
during or after. But there's another level, for those who notice it, that transcends
the surface of entertainment. And when someone says to me they got this other
level, or they thought about the movie days after seeing it...well, this is the
chocolate icing on the "completed movie gratification" cake!
