I have 938 signed copies at last count, but I'm kind of cheating . Please keep in mind that the PDFs you may find online are NOT legal copies of David's work. You should be able to find a great ebook or hard copy on Amazon and elsewhere, though.  I have no stake in the book sales, but would caution against advocating pirating of our friends work.  There are no 'legal' PDFs copies of lights out online as far as I know.

In the meantime, I'm still here pushing hard on the movie project.  Georgia probably isn't going to work out for us.  We're currently exploring other venues.  I'll certainly keep everyone here informed as we make progress!  (Did I beat the guys from Texas? ).  I will not stop.  We will make a great movie series.  Just be patient.  We can produce a bad product very quickly.  We can produce a great product slowly.  Hope you'll all understand our choice....

An indie draws cast and crew using opportunity for advancement and exposure.  We can't pay 'commercial' rates with union residuals and benefits like the big guys.  We'd need to triple our budget to produce the same content, and we'd never recover it.  What that means is that we have to find hubs of movie-making activity where there's critical mass and experience - without enough commercial projects to exhaust all the resources.  Unfortunately, Georgia has grown the industry to the point there are 27 movies filming in the Atlanta area alone right now.  Anybody who can sneeze the word movie is hired right now - and usually working in roles well beyond their abilities.  I showed up to meet with production companies with checkbook in hand.  None of them want to work for indie rates because there's too much commercial work.  I don't blame them.  Commercial rates chase indies away, and that's exactly what's happening here.  We're kind of starting over in finding a home base.  Nobody is going to return calls or meet with us in the next two months (the entertainment industry basically shuts down from Thanksgiving to New Years), so we're going to stop and take a breather, and organize our thoughts about next steps.  

Sorry to hijack the thread about the book!!

Have you looked into Mississippi?  I know nothing of the business but it seems like more and more movies are getting made here on the cheap.

I'm trying not to hijack a thread about the book here.  I also need to update my 'official' thread.  In the meantime, a few southeast states are being considered for the project.  Here's a good overview of movie incentives by State that should be interesting reading.  MS certainly is in the running.  We want to land in the ~25% to 30% rebate with sales tax relief, and they're right there (along with a few other states).  All of their offices (and the industry in general) are closed until mid-January.  I have some meetings set up then to discuss with the States that look like good candidates.
