Meeting Jeffrey Goodman

In film class I had the pleasure of meeting Jeffrey Goodman director of the upcoming movie The Last Lullaby. This movie is stars Tom Sizemore and Sasha Alexander, Sizemore plays a hit man who is retired but is forced to come out of retirement. Goodman let our class know what it is like to be an up and coming director and the trials he has faced. Goodman told us about convincing people to donate money, and how it was filmed in such a short time-span. Goodman said that he realizes that his film may very well flop, but he also noted that it has received outstanding praise from many festivals. Goodman says that if the film does do good he will be able to make more films that are not independent and he will be able to fulfill his dream of becoming a big time director. Goodman is a very down to earth guy and has no delusions about how being famous might affect him or his fiancee. He is also very young (early 30's) and this is a huge break for someone that young, and he also does not take that lightly. As of now he is very nervous about his film and stated that he does not believe he will get much sleep until May 1st when the film is premiered at the Shreveport Boardwalk. I plan on going to see this film and I hope that it will do as good as it merits.
