Treatments, Funding and Flanges

Yes, such is the array of what is on this film maker's mind:

Treatments: I am reading other treatments, sending people my own treatments, and waiting for others to write theirs. The treatment, the halfway house between synopsis and script, is a little bit more than a summary, but fall well short of the official blue print needed to make a film.

Funding: Only one funding pot has been established. Hints to future me - start pre-production in May!!!

Flanges: Until yesterday, I did not know what a flange was. My knowledge of plumbing increases, but not for the reasons you think...
