@KearnyMToyota @Toyota @ToyotaSoCal I just emailed you

[Ben Johnson @grammaticalb]

Do not shop @KearnyMToyota would not fix certified car three weeks after purchase. Worst customer service ever. Openly hostile crew and management. @Toyota @ToyotaSoCal is this good business?

Whatever the final maps look like today, one thing is certain: the Senate must end the filibuster so we can pass strong election reforms that make it easier to vote, ensure every Ohioan's vote is counted fairly, and end the partisan attempts to gut our most fundamental right.

Next up: casting

In fact, making a zero budget movie, we could use three things for free that would cost others quite a bit, potentially: venues as I mentioned, musicians, and musical instruments

[Ben Johnson @grammaticalb]

I said I would crank out a plot, and we would go from there. I busted it out, they liked it, and I took the next month to write the script. Fanboy was being born!

[Ben Johnson @grammaticalb]

As we were all musicians, we decided to make a rock and roll movie. Another reason for this is the fact that I work @casbahsandiego , and we could film there and at other independent venues in town for free

[Ben Johnson @grammaticalb]

Grant Reinero, the most learned of us in the ways of filmmaking, laid out an exhaustive list. After hearing it, I said ‘Just show up with your cameras and lighting and sound equipment, and I’ll take care of all that.’

[Ben Johnson @grammaticalb]

This was an extremely bold statement.

Chapter 1: origin.
Five years ago I was making short films with a couple friends. @GrantReinero1 @RoseRedCreative Brian Desjean @VinylJunkiesUSA As we wrapped production on a 20 min short called ‘A Forest’ I asked my colleagues what we needed to do to make a feature length film.

[Ben Johnson @grammaticalb]

I worked my brains off for five years to bring this movie into the world. Here is the story thread: https://t.co/fmz1jEB8bv
