Touch base with your friends, and make resolutions related to financial independence and growing your wealth through networking. [3:47] Venus at 1°36' Aquarius sextiles Jupiter in Aries on Jan. 4 at 1:08 AM PST. Take this opportunity to stand out and be noticed in a positive way. [5:24] On Jan. 5 at 8:43 AM PST, the Sun at 15°04' Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus. Celebrate what makes you unique and connect with people who appreciate your individuality. [6:14] Moon Report! The Full Moon at 16°21' Cancer is on Jan. 6 at 3:08 PM PST. The Capricorn Sun and (retrograde) Mercury are conjoined, and the Sun, Moon, and Mercury aspect exciting Uranus. It's time to act on the big Jupiterian dreams that were formulated at the December 23 New Moon at 1°32' Capricorn. Family dynamics are emphasized, too. [7:44] This Full Moon is part of a Lunar Phase Family that began with the July 9, 2021 New Moon at 18°1' Cancer. The First Quarter Moon in this Lunar Phase Family was on April 8, 2022 at 19°24' Cancer. This week's Full Moon in Cancer is the time when we can see the consequences of what was initiated in July 2021, and then make any changes necessary moving forward. [9:36] Void-of-Course Moon periods (VOC). On Jan. 2 (2:16 PM PST), the Moon at 27°43' Taurus makes a trine to Pluto.

[10:26] The Moon at 22°56' Gemini squares Neptune on Jan. 4 (4:08 PM PST). The Moon is then VOC for about 14 hours (!!!) until it enters Cancer on Jan. 5 (6:15 AM PST). Most of VOC period happens overnight which could indicate disrupted dream activity. In our waking hours, articulating feelings more effectively is an important theme. [12:25] The Moon at 27°52' Cancer opposes Pluto on Jan. 7 (2:23 pm PST), and is VOC for about four and one quarter hours before entering Leo (6:40 PM PST). Feelings of vulnerability could be at a peak at this time. [13:28] On Jan. 7 at 4:57 AM PST, the Sun at 16°56' Capricorn conjoins retrograde Mercury. Mercury the Messenger is reporting what they saw up the road so we can be better prepared to handle situations that may come our way. Mercury will be at 8°08' Capricorn when it turns direct on Jan. 18. [15:29] Mercury at 15°01' Capricorn trines Uranus on Jan. 8 (3:23 PM PST). Think back to the Sun's trine to Uranus on Jan. 4 – did you appreciate what makes you special? Now that Mercury is involved, it would be a fantastic time to let the world know about these unique and special traits. Jan. 7-9 is a terrific time for planning out the rest of the year.

Manny and Lindsay take on a subject that many independent filmmakers are unaware of this week, and that is Development Funds. This area of your budget is not always necessary, and it depends on what your film budget is actually going to be. What are development funds? Where does this money come from? When do you pay it back (if at all)? How does this affect your films budget as a whole? Where do you investors fit into this fund? As part of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts Women Filmmakers series, we sat in on the "Working Above the Micro-Budget Level" Workshop with Naomi McDougall Jones and Sarah Wharton where this was discussed. So we got this straight from two sources who have done it themselves, and we are here to share what we learned with you. Catch us at the Severed VHS Trade and Short Film Night, this Saturday May 27th, where we will be premiering our new short film, Knock Knock, and we will have a table for the day. Grab tickets here: www.shermantheater.com/?e=event&eventId=21952&rDate=5/27/2017 And Sunday May 28th, you can see our new film Theta States at the First Contact Film Festival at 2:40pm, along with a full day of other indie horror and scifi films. Tickets are $10 for the day, and you can get them here: filmfreeway.com/festival/firstcontact/tickets Subscribe to us on iTunes, Stitcher, YouTube, Google Play, or your favorite podcatching app. And don't forget to rate and review us!

When you're making an independent film, it's like this actor plus this actor equals this funding, this financing. Pull this actor out, this actor is still here but this money's gone. It's this frightening puzzle mosaic that is the world of independent film. - Jill Soloway
