So I'm learning to be not-so-candid about my behind-the-scenes life. Seems most people don't like this sort of thing being made public, but I just had to share this tidbit.

We had received tons and tons of notes on our script from Mr Carpenter and spent the las couple of weeks implementing them. We turned in a draft a week ago Monday (minus the big finale - which we agreed to hold off on until after the bulk of the script has been tweaked) and have been waiting with baited breath for his response.

Met with him an hour ago. He loves it and repeatedly called us geniuses - which made me really uncomfortable, but I'll learn to live with it.

Now we just have to finish it. I can't believe what an amazing sensation this is, I'm all tingly.:D

I was kinda wondering why your updates had slowed down. Did someone in Tinseltown see something you wrote on here & call you out on it or something?

Anyways, it's pretty awesome that JC likes your rewrite, but I think I'd feel a little uncomfortable as well if someone I held in such high regard kept pouring on the compliments like that. It's a great thing, I'm just not sure if I'd know how to react or what to say to that. lol


If you don't feel like you should answer this, then please don't, but I am curious... This LA Gothic script... Is it optioned right now or is it sold? Or somewhere in between?

I'll tell you all about it when it's prudent to do so:)

I'm still catching up on threads I've missed over the last few months I've been away and just caught this now. Many congrats, Roderick. My partner in filmmaking here in NC would kill to be in your shoes (figuratively speaking I would hope). I'm wrapping up sound on his first feature now in his office/spare bedroom and it's wall-to-wall JC posters and books in here. Best of luck on your film.

Thanks for the words of support, they are appreciated.

I'm afraid I won't be able to hang around the ol' HDC anymore. Apparently it's all too easy for anything I say in a public forum to be used against me in my professional life. And as much as I like you guys and gals, the career is a bit more important. So...

Thanks for the laughs. I'm outta here!

And go see my movies!!!!!!!!!!!:D
