Best laid plans, or how do we get beyond this point?

It's not easy being red, or in the red.

Ghost Walk Productions is pretty new in the scheme of things, less than a year old as a company, and we're still learning some of the corporate basics. But as a story/movie project, we are now entering our 4th year. It's been a major struggle, but don't take this message as we're going away. We're not.

This blog is more of a state of the state of things. We had plans to bring you a video trailer, internet radio, a physical Ghost Walk book, and several other unannounced projects. A little thing called "no money" keeps hitting us in the face. We did our homework on printing t-shirts to which several people said they loved it! and would buy one. Guess what? Those people didn't. Why not? You tell us. We countered with free shipping. Still no bites. People love the shirt but won't buy to help the project they say they love? It does make one scratch his head.
We were even approached by a venture capitalist who said his company would love to fund our movie; starting at one million dollars and up, IF we had a video in hand and an investor on board. Wasn't that why we were talking to him? We were asking for a few thousand dollars for our costume creations, site fees, technical fees, etc, but were told that is not what they do. $1 million versus a few thousand? You can fill in my thoughts with your own here.
So there it is. You wonder why we don't move forward with announced plans at times? There are always many reasons, but people not following through is a major one. Did you promise to buy a t-shirt and didn't? Now is the time.
We're not beaten down and we're far from out, but it is a frustrating time for all of us with the created money problems. I just wanted you to know "the why" when planned projects stall. We are continually adding new projects and ideas to our website and to our various information locations. If you haven't seen The Doll House cam on our website yet, you need to visit. The girl dolls are lovely and creepy, and there have been sightings of the spirit kind. Something named "Tarothon" is coming very soon! It will surprise you. A new menu on the website is coming shortly to make those links easy to reach.
Keep visiting and keep looking. The world of the paranormal is not as far from you as you would think, as 'the little girl' is reaching out to have you stand by her side.
