My company started a newspaper and website in 1995 which promoted the Texas Film Industry. The newspaper was called Direct to Hollywood and I produced two issues. But I also had a website, originally called Direct to Hollywood Online. Later I was able to get the domain of Hollywood-Vine.com and at that point I changed the name to Hollywood and Vine and I maintained the site until July, 1999. At that time I was getting 73,000 hits a month and that was a lot of hits for that period on the internet.
I've regretted shutting that site down. I just didn't know how to make money out of it and I couldn't afford the site.
This year I purchased Direct 2 Hollywood and I will be producing the site in 2008. I recently purchased Hollywood-Vine.CO and I directed it to this site. So now I'm just missing the "M".
Back in 1995, I met actor John Schneider of Dukes of Hazzard fame. He was producing a tv show in San Antonio that never got off the ground. He and his wife owned a productionmed Faithworks Production. I was able to
host his first web page on Hollywood & Vine. And our company had a Christmas
Party in Boerne, TX in December of 1995 and John and his wife were our special
guest.
