Our other guest today on THE VIEW FROM OVER HERE is movie producer Chau Von Truong. Ever try to make a movie?  Anyone can be a Monday-morning quarterback by criticizing what they’ve seen on the screen, even critics who have never been involved in the creative process. He is out there hustling while trying to make the movie, “Secret Kept”.  It starts off with an idea that is translated into a viable script.  That’s the easy part.  Then comes the financing followed by those who are actually going to make the movie; such as director, cinematographer, orchestrator, the cast of course, set and costume designers and a host of others too numerous to mention here, while dealing with the interminable BS that emanates from within and without.
