Should you read these early chapters you will realize that Justin Zimmerman, an experienced film maker and his company "Brickerdown Productions, were invaluable in my movie venture.Justin is a fine filmmaker, excellent teacher and good guy.
...
My name is Justin Zimmerman.

Justin Zimmerman
Wow. Things were moving fast.
...
Justin Zimmerman had mailed me copies of two movies he had filmed.I watched them both a couple of times and was impressed.We had been keeping up a perfunctory e-mail correspondence about DVD's and filmmaking in general.I asked if he liked baseball (yes) and if he liked character driven documentaries (yes).I started to like the guy.I got a sense he really wanted to make movies.Even though I never met him, I started to trust him.I felt he was the guy I wanted behind the camera of my first film.
...
Justin wrote back with quickly and with enthusiasm.
...
It also seemed like Justin knew what he was doing - this was excellent, because I did not.He quickly followed with a few more specifics
...
The equipment information was, of course, incoherent to me. However, it was nice to know that Justin had a grasp of technical details, acronyms and evidently had a camera that was operational.
...
On the other hand, Justin was as clueless and blindly confident as I was for he quickly agreed to the lunacy.
...
The filmmaker I am hiring for this project is Justin Zimmerman of Brickerdown Films.They are based in Athens Ohio.He has finished 3 films.You can view his company and his work at his website www.brickerdown.com.He has won several awards and his film, The Calling, is pending national PBS distribution.Justin Zimmerman also teaches film at Dennison University.If you want, I can send you samples of his work.
...
Justin is a pro.He is also relatively young, so he will blend into the woodwork with the best of them.
...
I decided to let Justin know what was happening.
...
I think Justin was more unnerved by the chilly response to the Road Warrior concept.
