Okay, it's definitely been a while since I've added anything to this blog, so I've got a few pieces of fun news.   For "Open Mike Night," I have begun working on the editing again.  It was so hard to start after so long, but it has to get finished.  Although I don't think we have a snowball's chance in hell, I want to enter it in the AFI Dallas Festival.  James Faust, who's helped transform the Deep Ellum Film Festival into the AFI Internation Festival, says that he wants to continue supporting Texas filmmakers with this new festival, although it will open up avenues to bring more name stars and movies to the Dallas area.  Will they accept a small project completed almost entirely by a high school?  I don't know, but they should.  It's amazing that what we've done looks so good on the screen.  I'm very proud of everyone behind the project.

Next, we come to the "Tinkerbell" script.  It's final draft is finished, at least until the thing is cast, when we may make other changes.  We had a reading at KD Studios in October with producer Jim Wingard and director Joel Rosensweig and his beautiful wife, Joan Murphy.  Everyone enjoyed the reading and offered some good suggestions on how to make the script stronger, which have been added to this version of the script.  I'm very proud of the project and hope that Jim really can get the funding.  I believe this could be a theatrical release.  It's a PG family movie with a real message; how many of those do you get?  It would be wonderful if it could be a Christmas release next year, but that will depend on how quickly the funding comes in.

So, that's a catch up for now.  I'm working on several other scripts that will be available for perusal soon, and I'm now considering whether or not to enter the "On the Lot" television series competition.  Talk about a snowball's chance in hell...but if I was accepted?!!  Anyway, God bless everyone this holiday season, and I'll add to this when there's more news of any kind!
