The Making Of

ON PUPOSE! :   Mark, you have been working on this beast for a year plus, and rumor is the original project is thirty plus years old.  

Mark:   Yes, I have been drudging this idea around for most of my life.  It is time to make it happen.

On PURPOSE!:  What finally pulled you into the entertainment business?

Mark:  To be honest, I used to wet myself if I was asked to stand in front of a crowd ,when I originally came up with the idea.   Now I am good with a crowd....well, I won't wet myself from being scared. The Dr  did put me on a water pill, so I may still piss my pants, but I really don't care anymore what people think.  Hopefully they will at least laugh at it.

oN pUrPose!:   That was kind of the answer I was expecting.  You strike me as the type that had a rough time in high school.  

Mark:  And you strike me as a judgmental prick. (laughs, but not really)   Anyway, I just had this idea for a series of shows, a network of them....Kind of how comic books get woven together....I am going to try to put it together for a live variety show and see how it works.  I expect it to be brutal at first.  

No Purpose!:  So it is blogs, video, singing, comedy,news,horror, drama ,illustrations....fiction & reality?

Mark:  And bowling and Small Houses with wheelchair accessible ideas.

No Porpoise:!  If your small house ideas involve a kitchen sink, you have it all covered.  So , how do you market that?  It seems like you are spread very thin.

Mark:  I would be spread thin, if I was trying to finish one show.   It really is a network of projects...may take forever to get it right....it may start airing tomorrow.    Many pieces of it are spread out all over the internet.   Stories, Scifi....some songs .   A lot has been completed.   I am trying to get the set figured out .  Keep in mind, all this is coming together with zero funds and zero training.   I am trying put  the Little Engine that Could  theory into practice.

On 'Pose !  The lack of training shows.   I have seen some of your 'work'.   Stunning lack of production values and edit.  

Mark:  I am a fan of used car commercials and bad movies.   Get used to it.   The material will do fine without the slick production values.   I HATE slick

On Purpose!:    So, you are just trying to do everything you always wanted to do.  

Mark:  Yep.  That is the way it is supposed to be , isn't it?  I want to support myself and my family, by doing what I want to do, and being able to be there for them when they need me.   We have some health issues that make regular jobs a little difficult to keep, and I aspire to one day be an employer for people who have more to offer than just setting on their ass or working for minimum wage.   I want to be an employer that people believe in, and works with the community and its needs.       Just a dream...

On Purpose:   You may need to work on the public urination problem, while you are at it.

Mark:  Everybody needs a trademark.
