Friday saw further fortunate turns of events. First thing in the morning, I discovered that Nicky, the daughter of Angela the administrative assistant in our office, is now working at our place having just left uni with a degree in Film!
So I rushed downstairs and said to her, ‘wanna make a movie?’ and she said, ‘sure do!’. Very cool, I now have a partner in crime who actually knows what they are doing. I promised her a spruced up version of the SToA script by later this week…
Then in the afternoon, I was talking to my stateside colleague, Mr Bill Smith esq in Keene (home of Jumanji and not much else), and he informed that he had worked in LA for ten years and was good friends with none other than one William Sanderson, who’s currently in Deadwood with Ian McShane!
What strange and very small world we live in. Still, I take it that some celestial force is trying to give me the biggest boot up the arse ever, so I’d better take the hint and crack on writing.
I’ve worked out a new storyform for Beautiful People, based on the pitch (or extended logline) that I wrote last week and now I’m just fleshing it all out. Tedious work, but worthwhile in the long run.
Haven’t heard from that chap that Ken mentioned last week yet, but I suspect it’ll be a while as I think Ken flew out to Califormia over the weekend…
