Summer 2011 It's summer already? Half of 2011 is gone! Ahh.. -writing I've finished those 2 spec screenplays and now am in agent / manager shopping mode! Any leads, send 'em my way please! -directing Enjoying immensely the experience of working with the fine cast of Japan Meets California, Rochelle's mini 3-act that will run as part of a series of her work from June 8-22. It has been a lot of work, but most of it has been quite satisfying. I've met some really cool people along the way, so very happy about that. -acting Just finished up on Ben Wong's short film, a period piece MOS- and he literally shaved my head. Whee. My stage manager, Ramona Young, for JMC said I looked like Avatar. Great. He's white, so... I don't know what that means. All bald people look alike? End of November/2010 ROUNDUP -writing I'm working on finishing 2 spec screenplays, one pure comedy and one action comedy with a fantasy twist. Must- finish- by end of year! Have a consult with script goddess Pilar Alessandra in January so I need to knuckle down. -directing Looking forward to working with Rochelle Perry and directing her staged reading of Japan 1946 meets California 2010 for the DHHWI workshops. I am also pleased to work with Junko Goda (who I worked with on Leonard Acuna's "Onigiri") and Wes Gabrillo (just met Wes on a short film for David Lee "Year Zero") and Dian Kobayashi who I haven't worked with before. -filmmaking Finishing post / 3d fx for "Nightmares" - wow, 3d fx and tracking are really time consuming. I'd thought I could handle it on my own but I think I need help. If you know any good 3d fx artists who will work for lo/no, hit me up at ilikepickles "at' wongstein (dot) com -fun Just went to the Long Beach aquarium with some friends, petted some manta rays, very interesting- the cow nose rays are so friendly, they were almost like puppies! Well, slimy puppies... hit it up at night if you can. Roscoe's in LB was interesting, they had a small jazz room, nicer than Hollywood's Roscoe's I think Abalone Cove was a great little place with little tide pools, I highly recommend it! Thought for the day- Time is the greatest resource, maybe the only one that counts. |
