Thank you all again for the words of inspiration.
@ Bart fka KhameNei, Thank you, thank you.
@ 7170Graphix, thank you 4X's Breh :cheeky:
@ fillyacup, LMAO! @ lying the first 3X's.
And...
I'm honestly feeling no excitement. I don't like to get ahead of myself until the process is done. Even then, I remain humble regardless.
@ THE ACIDRAPTOR, Thank you again, Bro. Staying focused, on my feet and awake is all part of life as we deal with serious personal issues. Yet, we stand firm on our feet and duck & dodge the punches life throws at us in the midst of it all.
@ SMOKIELOCS, No DVD's are, nor will be pressed anytime soon. My goal is to get this aired on a big network. If I accomplish that, I will then press DVD's. Then again, if it airs on national television, I'm sure people will TVO it and burn it on a disc and the bootlegging will begin LOL!

@ EXXXO, Thank you Homeboy. I'm simply soaking up all I can to bring it back home.
@ THE ACIDRAPTOR, Thank you again, Bro. I appreciate your positive feedback.
Update: As of yesterday, there is talk with the County to do another screening of the documentary film, "Street Connect: Everybody Has A Dream." They are searching a open venue in Salinas that will seat 100 people without having to resort to huge expenses like the Sherwood etc. Although, the County people have not pitched to those bigger venues as of yet.
The known fact & issue I've pushed is that the screening will be an 18 & over event. The only reason I've chosen to go 18 & over is due to the language in the film. That is the only reason due to the film not having the typical rapper stereotypes in it. It's a story told by the artist / producers etc.
On a different note: The film will be shipped to San Diego, CA. in Nov. for the 2012 Latino Film Festival. As well as The Sundance Film Festival and a few other festivals that will remain nameless until further details.
More news as I get more info.
