Farewell to this Blog

Hey y'all!

This blog started as a way to document the making of Abandoned Allies back in May of 2008. Since that first blog post, we've come a LONG way. The film is now finished and we premiered it at the IMAX at Marbles in August 2012. We've organized indie screenings in Raleigh, N.C., and are presently working on additional screenings statewide as long as resources (like time and money) allow it.

This will be my last blog post here. All updates about Abandoned Allies will now be posted on the film website: www.abandonedallies.com. Any time we have news to share, that's where you can find it first. We also share updates about the film and relevant world news on Facebook and Twitter (@AbandonedAllies). Any time you want to continue the conversation, you can find me there. I welcome the conversations.

Since 2008, I've published nearly 400 entries on this blog. Since this is my last one here, I want to thank you all for the kind words, constant encouragement, and patience as I learned to make my first feature film. These years have been full of trials, tribulations, and overwhelming joy -- most of which is documented on this blog. It allowed powerful conversations to take place and it provided a foundation for strong relationships to grow. It's something I'll always cherish.

Now that Abandoned Allies has been completed, I'm starting new filmmaking journeys. I write about those efforts on my personal website: www.camdenwatts.com. There are some really exciting things taking shape. If you'd like to follow along, visit the site and sign up to get blog post updates via email.

Thank you, again, for the support and encouragement. You have no idea what a profound impact you've had on my life. I am forever grateful. I look forward to sharing my next films with you very soon.

Sincerely,
Camden
