True Hollywood Story

Having spent almost 80 days at Niad Management (weekends included), having recieved from the bargain one futon with mattress, one feather couch, one chez lounge, one original movie poster from A Fish Called Wanda, over a dozen frames, uncounted free script copies, one trip to Disney Land (including California Adventure), and uncounted lunches...

I am tomorrow going to my first interview that they've arranged for me. It is at Odd Lot Entertainment, (formerly Dee Gee Entertainment) for the position of assistant to VP Linda McDonough.

Here's an artcle from Variety about it:


McDonough joins Odd Lot

Linda McDonoughLinda McDonough has joined Odd Lot Entertainment as VP of development. McDonough was most recently VP of development at Flower Films, where she spent the last four years. Before joining Flower, McDonough spent four years at 1013 Prods.

Odd Lot is a privately financed partnership of Gigi Pritzker, Deborah Del Prete and Patrick Aluise. Company plans to develop and produce films budgeted between $10 million and $40 million and has development capital in addition to the funding to make talent offers.

Meanwhile, Wendi Niad has taken my scripts from her inbox to her bedside. One can only suspect that there will be reading soon. On this, much hinges. Amongst those scripts is the first complete draft of Storybook Park, which was completed six days early, on March 14th, 2005. Click here to read it.

Also, Antebellum has secured it's location, and will go into principle photography on April 15-18th.

Stay tuned for Fellowship, Contest, and Job updates! EXCITING!

The Misplaced Planet DVD has gone off to be professionally duplicated. It has six of our short-films on it, along with behind-the-scenes documentaries and commentaries. This fist disc will represent the best of the stuff we've done in the last two years, and I really can't wait to see it. You can check out some samples at the forum. If you haven't already, you should be Misplaced Planet's friend on Myspace . Because that's me. Now, we need to polish off Disc 2 of the set, which will be a bonus for the real fans, and for ourselves. Hopefully, we'll be able to sell enough of these to partially fund the filming of Zaniness Ensues . Anything that reduces the amount of credit-spending is good. As for me, I haven't been getting a lot of writing done, since the design work for the DVD has consumed my time. But I have made a lot of progress on the Zaniness Ensues production. We have Jess Temple ready to play the lead female role of Meredith, and Matt McN

Semi-Annual Exorcism

I hate to give the impression that I spend my days sulking, but this ridiculous journal has become the place for me when I have some woe to spew. So many of my complaints about life are summarized by that: I have no one to share my troubles with, and that is the whole of my troubles. However, writing has always been soothing to me, and every writer scribbles in hope that it will someday be read by the right person. Another potential companion (the one I mentioned earlier) jumped ship on me this past weekend. I must have done something wrong during the conversation, failed to amuse, because she begged off the call by saying she was going "away." And that was the last I heard of her, despite e-mails and contact attempts. Immediately following that, my closest female friend expressed long-hidden romantic intentions for me, intentions I did not share. If I do not draw a line, I will be stringing her along. I must separate, cause myself pain, in order to avoid her contin

Let Me Put This to You Simple...

I want to know where you get those friends that people have in romantic comedies. You know, the single-lead's happy-couple-friends, the ones that see their romantic happiness, paired with their sense of friendship, as an imperative to set the single up with someone special. You know, the couple that quietly gets ready for bed, actually thinking about the loneliness of their good friend. I am about to throw a fit. Hold on tight!
