Managing the fantabulous DIY filmmaker lifestyle & day job work

I want to have an x amount of $s saved & an x number of my DVDs selling per month, plus debt paid down to an x level, before I quit my day job (and this'll probably take another 2 years or so, to achieve those goals).

In the meantime, this is how I am going to manage having a day job & needing to get a lot of filmmaking & related work done:

Mon - Thu: Primarily day job work, w/ a couple of hours each day for filmmaking & distribution related work.

Fri - Sun: Primarily for filmmaking & related work. With filming happening at most 2 weekends out of a month, usually, so that I will have a day off from everything every couple of weeks. Editing & publicity work can happen on a weekly basis (publicity stuff even on a daily basis) since those two kinds of filmmaking related work is not as intense as filming/shooting.

That's the new plan.

One of the best looking restaurants in the DC area

Granted, I have not been to every restaurant in this town. But, even long before I started working with Jackie's on the Lo-Def screening series, I was a big fan of the look of the restaurant (future location for a film shoot? oh yeah) & of course the food is as delicious as the visual design of the place. Here, judge for yourself re: the look of the place - as seen above, & more pics at the site . Mouth watering interior design for a filmmaker who likes colors & interesting shapes. - Sujewa
