Script Contest "Win"
I just found out that a short script that I wrote, MOMENT OF TRUTH, advanced to the next round of competition in THE 7TH AMERICAN GEN LITERARY FESTIVAL. So I got that going for me...which is nice.

Project Update
I just got back from LA for the Lo-Fi Sugar "The Night Divine" music video premiere...and I'm feeling kinda strange.
First off, the screening went really well!
A small group of strangers and a smaller group of friends seemed to think that the video was worth 5 minutes of their life, which is really all that I need to feel that it's worth it.
I've definitely sent out my last mass email/Evite...
There's only so many times the same 200 people can reply "NO" before I stop inviting them to my events...their loss, the people who do show up are more important to me personally anyway and they seem to have a great time, so whatevs.
Project-wise, here's where things are:
LO-FI SUGAR - "THE NIGHT DIVINE"
The video has been accepted into two festivals, with a bunch more pending results. At the end of the year, I'll post it online and send it as part of a reel to agents, managers, production companies, commercial houses, producers, etc.
THE LEGACY
I've seen two re-edits of the rough cut, without the Special Effects. It looks good and is well edited...it still needs some tweaks and the SFX are almost non-existent. I talked to our guy and he's hopeful he'll find time to get to it soon. I'm hoping for an October 2008 release. I'm really excited about it though!
WHEN IT BEGAN
Did a screen test with the actress I want as the lead and I acted in a few run-through's with her. I think I could've done a better job acting, but I thought it was a good start.
It was definitely discouraging to hear a old, dear friend, upon seeing the footage, tell me that she thinks I shouldn't do it. A proper response in my mind would be: "Well, it's a good start, but if you want to do it, I think you should just work hard at it."...But that's just me.
Once "Super Model" is complete, I'll focus on this project. I'm hoping for a late July or early August shoot date in LA.
METAL GOD: THE BOBBY LEE HOLIDAY STORY
Still the best thing I've ever written, just nobody's read it...except one good friend who feels that it could, but does not, have "The Goods."
SUPER MODEL
I am meeting with the actor who I want for the lead next week. If all goes well, we'll shoot it in one weekend just after The 4th of July.
I LOVE MY CAR
Slated to be shot in September in Boston. I need to save up money to fly out/pay a DP based in LA...we'll see.
SUMMER SONG, SOMETHING MAGICAL, BLOODRUSH, MOMENT OF TRUTH
These various feature or short scripts have been entered into the Nicholls Fellowship, Sundance Institute, Creative Screenwriter, etc...we'll see.
