Agenda for the
Hollywood Happiness / New Untitled Prd. Co. Meeting #1
9 – 10:15 AM
Wednesday, January 12, 2010
1…CALL TO ARMS / INTRO…Sean (5 minutes)
A. We are meeting to form a new production company inspired by the musicians’ concept of forming a “band”. All the bandmates bring their own songs to the table and produce all of them to create an album — collaboration. In the same way, we all bring entertainment projects to the table and we will begin to produce them one by one, putting the energy of the whole group behind each and every project.
B. Hollywood is full of inspiring people living their dreams. Let’s trim some of those fatty Hollywood budgets and makes some projects that cost less but deliver more!
1. Earlier investor returns for the same amount of advertising
2. More products for the money
3. Unique and fascinating “must see-gotta see-haveta see product” that will be attractive to distributor and audience alike
4. Every project can be our “life’s work”; no projects to just “pass the time” till we get our breaks
C. We have a world out there and inside our minds which is in need of changing; and there is no time to waste. We need to inspire people, not to achieve more at the expense of others but to inspire everyone to make others happy and be loving to one another. Are we agreed on this mission?

I have an appropriate idea!
Alas, I also have a desk job until April. Can I email you a pitch?

I will put up a separate post with my responses to items 2 to 5. Thanks!!!!!
Ideas:

along with a labour of love in order to accomplish it’s goals creatively and financially.

B. Company name: Hollywood Happiness Productions
3. See Videos: Music Resume and Intro/ TV show pitch on Facebook
HHC page
4. Future meetings topics:
Cross promotion (talents inside and outside the group) for marketing and production purposes.
Focus on individual strengths.
Open group up to creative non-artists (individuals specializing in accounting,
marketing, nonprofits, fundraising, etc.) to address LLC, nonprofit, articles of
incorporation, foundations for funding and other issues to address when the time
Note: I have been President of a nonprofit and have a marketing degree, but my strengths lie primarily with music writing and performance and acting performance as I indicate in the videos. My skills in marketing, promotion and nonprofit otherwise play supportive roles in most cases which is why I suggest opening up the group to creative nonartists for these functions when the time comes. Thank you for your time.
There’s always more to come! Dan NOWMAN
comes.
How’d it go? Are we rich and famous yet?
Went good. Now we should talk by phone soon.
Maybe you should meet me at the Bolingbrook wavepool. Man, I can’t get enough of that joke.
