Uptown Saturday Night is the Place to be in Florida

One of the greatest aspects of St. Augustine, Florida is all of the fun activities that are available. Uptown Saturday Night is a great event to visit and participate in for locals and tourists. Therefore, one does not have to be a resident of Florida to enjoy all that Uptown Saturday Night has to offer. That is one factor that makes this event very interesting. Uptown Saturday Night occurs at the end of the month from 5pm to 9pm. Since the holidays are coming up, I am excited about the St. Augustine shopping extravaganza.

Uptown Saturday Night features a blend of live music, book signings, art exhibits and more. There is also a chance to shop at nearby antique stores and other unique shops. This event is like a shopping spree and party all rolled into one. One of the best aspects that I like about Uptown Saturday Night is that visitors can enjoy FREE refreshments and live music while shopping in a fun atmoshphere. This takes a lot of frustation out of the typical shopping experience by adding more fun and relaxation to the mix. You can even meet the artists who have work displayed during Uptown Saturday Night. I also love the fact that there is FREE parking available thanks to The Mission of Nombre de Dios.

It is not always easy to find unique gifts for the Holidays. The shopping experience is tiresome, which is why Uptown Saturday Night is a great place to be. It provides the opportunity to find unique gifts that no one else has and enjoy yourself in the process. Since I like art and music, Uptown Saturday Night is definitely a must-see and must-visit event. I can enjoy the local activities and performances while shopping for special gifts for the Holidays. The added refreshments also means that I do not have to spend time searching for someting to eat. From a filmmaking perspective, Uptown Saturday Night is also a great event where one could make a cool video documentary about the local artists, visitors and history of the event.

Uptown Saturday Night was scheduled to take place Saturday, October 27th, which was yesterday. However, don't fret because Uptown Saturday Night takes place on the last Saturday of each month for the rest of the year!

Movies to Watch on Halloween

Halloween is coming up in a few days. If you are in need of fun ideas there are tons of great movies to watch on Halloween. Instead of watching the same Hollywood movies that you have been familiar with, try checking out some independent films. There are tons of independently produced movies in the Horror genre that have received great reviews. The feature film Holla is of the titles worth adding to your rental or DVD owner's collection. It is the very first independently produced and directed black horror film to be acquired and dsitributed by a major Hollywood company. Holla tells the frightening story of a group of friends who embark on a weekend escape in the mountains. While staying in a remote cabin during their trip, people start dying. Holla has a full African-American cast and is being distributed by Lionsgate Films. This is one of the fun movies to watch on Halloween. It is available on DVD at most retailers online and in stores.

How PayPerPost may have saved Indie Films

Fundraising and saving out-of-pocket money to make films can be daunting at times. That is one of the reasons why I signed up for PayPerPost. I read about the company on many blogs that ranged from Work at Home Opportunities to Random Lifetsyle views and activities. However, I never had interest in working with the company until the last two months. Some view blogging as a waste of time, especially if you do not get paid from it. While there are lots of advertising opportunities available, many bloggers actually do not make much money if they make anything at all.

That is where I decided to try out PayPerPost. While I enjoy writing on the Madlab Post, it doesn't bring in as much revenue as I would prefer. Still, I don't mind blogging here because my main focus is gaining exposure for my films and video projects as well as the movies made by other filmmakers. It would be nice to be able to make an income from the movies, but they have to be made first. That is where PayPerPost comes in. Since most of my income is used for all of the expenses that come with the cost of living in this busy and high priced society, there is barely enough left over to make more films. PayPerPost is where I get paid to blog

Working with PayPerPost has allowed me to do two things. First, it has provided some revenue for my blog, which makes it so that blogging isn't a waste of time, like many women and men tend to think. Secondly, it provides the opportunity to build up enough money to make more films and purchase or rent editing equipment, studios, props, wardrobe food for cast and crew members and more. Film Festival entry fees tend to make it difficult to apply and thats just the beginning. It is even more epensive to travel to these film festivals where fun movies are showing.

There are opportunities to make anywhere from $5 up to $200 or more for a blog post on specific topics. This is why I am glad that I decided to try PayPerPost. I have recently found that other members are friendly and willing to help each other out no matter if it's related to PayPerPost of blogging in general. This company has made blogging more enjoyable and it has even influenced me to work on improving this blog as much as I can. PayPerPost is a great company to work with and can definitely be a helpful tool for independent filmmaking and other arts related projects.
