NO-BUDGET PRODUCTIONS

NO-BUDGET PRODUCTIONS is a brand that I have maintained for nearly 50 years. It represent my current sensibilities and active creative maneuvering to, not so much to stay relevant but, to keep my mind active. 

My history is historical and my past is what keeps me grounded in the present. So, as a creative, I, like many others are exploring passive income strategies available on a variety of platforms. And rereleasing a past body of work in a digital format.

 
I opened a virtual T-shirt Shop I call Last Door On The Left LastDoorOnTheLeft.com, It's an online apparel store selling repurposed graphics and stuff I created with the assistance of AI printed on casual garments often worn and exploited by celebrities, musicians, artists, influencers, and regular folk.

SPECIAL INTEREST GUEST BOOKS, AUTOGRAPH BOOKS & SINGER-SONGWRITERS NOTEBOOKS

Hey. My name is Frank.

Although I have several books published and available to the public, I don't think I would call myself an Author.  I guess I would describe myself as a Creative with an extensive history in interactive comedy entertainment, public speaking and an observer of unconventional marketing strategies. This eclectic fusion of skillsets and experience has proven to be successful for experimenting with current passive income niches and ever-changing social media trends.

 

Among my various creative projects, I've introduced a library of novelty books. These books are not of my writing but created for others to write in.  Each conceptual book title is offered with up to 6 different cover designs so if you need more than one, they will be easy to keep track of. Or if you like one of the books and want to give it as a gift to more than one person in the same family or social group, everyone’s copy doesn't look like you bought the same book. These customer choices has proven to be popular with the gift givers who relate to my books.

 

Here are my active titles:

<> THE CIRCULATING GUEST BOOK: An Activity for Wedding Guests
(4 contemporary covers: Light Blue, Pride Flag, Black and White | 90 pages, 8.25”x6”)

As a Professional MC for wedding receptions, I was inspired to create this book as an Interactive Wedding Reception Activity for the Guests. The best thing is this is always one of the 'Guest Activities' everyone can do. And couples have told me that their Circulating Guest Book was one of the coolest souvenirs they could have taken home at the end of their wedding day celebration. How to Circulate instructions can be found on the back of the last page. The White cover book has black pages, to be written in with white ink

 

<> The Original SPORTS FANATICS aka FAN Autograph Book
(5 different covers to choose from | 90 pages, 6” wide X 8.25” tall)

The Sports Fanatics (aka Fans) Autograph Book is one of the coolest autograph books any kid could own. And, by kid, we mean kids of all ages young and older. Sport Fans agree that this is a great book for collecting autographs from athletes playing on all of your favorite teams in youth, high school, college and professional sports. This is the ultimate autograph book for Sports Fans, it is my version of the kind of Autograph Book I've never seen. First, instead of opening side to side like a book, the spine is on top so it opens like a notepad making it easy for anyone to sign. And secondly, there are spaces to add the name of the person, the date and location of the meeting plus, a place to make memory notes from the experience.

 

The PEOPLE I LOVE Autograph Book (a collectible family heirloom)
(3 different covers to choose from | 90 pages, 6” wide X 8.25” tall))

This unique Autograph Book was created to capture and preserve the signatures and timely messages of people that you love, and who loves you back. Kids can collect autographs from their besties and family members too, like moms, dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters. Even neighbors and family friends who visit your home. this book let's families create a family heirloom that can be cherished for a lifetime. Every time you look this book a fond memory of that day will fill your thoughts and make you smile.

 

<> Singer-Songwriter Manuscript Notebook
(6 different covers to choose from | 84 pages, 8.5”x8.5”)

A Portable Packable Musician's Notebook for Singer-Songwriters in the know, the practical size of this manuscript notebook makes it easy to ink in lyrics and music compositions while traveling to a gig in a moving vehicle or sitting at a coffee shop, and fits easily in your backpack, gig bag or instrument case. The square format is reminiscent of the shape of their upcoming album. The manuscript pages have 7 staves per page topped with 6 guitar chord boxes. And, since it is a fact that everyone who writes songs (and poetry) is a doodler and rabid idea scribbler, the other 25% of the left-hand pages are either lined, have graph grids or were left open to be filled with your inspirations.

 

IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR: Again, I’m seriously not sure if I would call myself an author, more like a guy who likes to create in a variety of mediums e.g., in the 80's I published a fanzine (WARNING circa1982-85) which evolved into a weekly tv series (1987-93), check it out at Bombsheltervideos.com During that period of time I released 3 boxed set of trading cards featuring Northwest band and musicians (1992) Wile locked down during the COVID 19 Pandemic I opened LastDoorOnTheLeft.com, an apparel store and as a geek, my regular gig is creating content and defining marketing strategies for small businesses and non-profit organizations.
