Verne Troyer as the Emperor of the 9 Planet Federation
So, anyone that follows the market knows that Etherium has been making a HUGE move recently. I was fortunate enough to have found a wallet on a trading site that I hadn't used in a while and low and behold there was some there!
Richard Elfman, Writer / Director... clown.
And for those of you that follow my blog, you know I'm making a ridiculous movie about clowns from space, made by some of the most ridiculous people I've ever worked with. The movie has some really cool names attached, from French Stewart to Verne Troyer, and the director himself is Richard Elfman (a cult director in his own right, who's film FORBIDDEN ZONE is either truly loved or absolutely hated by the people that have seen it.
Richard Elfman, and son Bodhi Elfman as Clowns with Bodhi's children on-set.
This movie seems like it won't be anywhere near as polarizing, but it has been a fucking shitshow from start to finish. From a wild script that has a ton of movie pieces, to one of our locations burning down (and literally causing a major canyon fire) to us getting rained out (IN SOUTHER CALIFORNIA WHERE IT NEVER RAINS) on our only exterior driving day.
It's been bananas.

But then you tack on the real problem of us not having finished raising the money to finish the damn thing.
Producer, it's my job to make sure everything gets paid for. My locations, my gear, but most importantly my crew. So when things started to get tight, I put my pay BACK into the movie (to hopefully get at a later date) to make sure that I could cover the wages of the people that support me and make this thing happen.

Which brings me back to the Etherium. In the 5 days between realizing it was there, and realizing I just wasn't going to be able to pay myself, ETH had jumped 300 dollars, but looked like it might be temporarily leveling off. I logged on, cashed out a third of it, and immediately paid some major bills that had started to crop up.

So, that's this story. No major twist, and or crazy drunken punchline, but thought you might like to see some photos from the craziness that's been my current job. Give a little context to the stories.
And thank god for Steemit. Did a little backtracking and realized, that the only reason I had been able to get the ETH in the first place, was from coin I had made posting on this awesome site.
So, thanks for reading, and see you on the moon!
