Tax Time
Nothing like taxes at the start of the year. It’s “fun” to know that taxes will only get more complex as I get deeper into the business world. I got a handy federal return. The really interesting part was the state sales tax for internet items. I purchased a new camcorder from a company in California. They first wanted to charge me the 8.5% sales tax, but I would rather pay 5.5% that I get here instead. So, they knocked it off. This is cause for much rejoicing because it turns out that the 5.5% sales tax for all my internet purchases last year work out to less that the singular amount assigned by California lady for my camera.
Oberon is progressing. I’m still thinking through what catalysts are necessary to develop an grander conflict from what I first planned. If I have to, I can always fall back on the base story. However, I’d like to weave some mystery and suspense into the script as I plan my scenes. In any case, I hope it all works out. I just need to convince those I need to use to make the story. If it doesn’t work out, I still will have a good number of hours of footage from some pretty cool places. And, I have other short films in the works too.
