Michael Lockett (in case you wanted to somehow fill in Slim Shady). I am a writer/director/pseudo producer who is in the midst of finishing an edit on a short shot a couple of months ago as well as preparing to shoot a few other shorts and of course polishing two features to begin marketing. I'm always looking for people to collaborate with on paid and unpaid projects. Please feel free to reach out to me from anywhere in the world but especially from the tri-state (New York/New Jersey/Connecticut) region. There is a lot of great people I've met here over the years, but there are also many don't want to hone their craft unless they can get paid for it. I get it, we all need money but sometimes putting in the work and then getting the funding to pay yourself and finish and distribute the work is how it gets done (on a shoestring). If you love telling stories or bringing them to life through your cinematography, acting, producing, scoring, sound engineering, visual or special FX take a shot and reach out. The worst that will happen is that you make a new connection.
