Visual Effects…

Brad designed this a few days ago just for fun. His skill set in visual effects has sharpened working on Cosmos. It’s a gorgeous show because all the visual effects are stunning, and it’s really interesting. Neil deGrasse Tyson is the host, and he was there the night we watched the premiere episode. After talking to […]

Choosing to Step Out of the Closet…

When I hear people say you have a choice to be gay, straight, bi or whatever, it makes me a little sick inside. You do NOT have a choice. The only choice you have is whether or not to stay in the closet. Gay men and women have been beaten and abused, had their rights […]

Fingers on Fire…

I am on page 84 of my justice feature that I’ve been juggling along with all my other projects. This is the courtroom drama, and it’s really delving into the trial now. It’s my favorite part of the script to write partly because I love courtroom dramas and because this is where several of the […]

The Magic of Space…

The one thing I love about Science Fiction is that it is a world you must create from scratch, and you can make up a broad array of magical devices that are awe inspiring. It’s why I love the fantasy genre too. As a young girl, one of my favorite books was about a blue […]

Love, Politics, and Sci Fi…

J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek reeled me in from the first scene. To witness the father give his life for his family made you care about the main character from the moment he took his first breath. Today, I wrote a 30 page script that has an opening which also pulls at your heartstrings. It’s about […]

The Many Roads…

I am flooded with ideas. Taking an idea to the next level takes significant time and effort, and even though many of my ideas would make great films, I am only going to focus on the ones that really speak to me. I wrote one of my first features, Sandy Beach, in four days. I […]

Priceless Information…

Posted by on February 13, 2014 at 12:04 am

Today I had lunch with an Executive Producer who gave me some great tips on how to get my feature financed through product placement and integration. I believe priceless information always comes from those with experience. You can read book after book and do the research, which I have done, but still, there is nothing like […]

Meeting…

Today I have a lunch meeting with an Executive Producer who has several connections in the industry. He typically finds the funding for projects and product placement. It’s going to be a good learning experience to talk to him about the future of my company, and the realistic goals we can set for our many […]

Network Meeting…

Posted by on February 11, 2014 at 8:35 am

My gig was extended and as I’m currently working on a pitch presentation, the day started off with a meeting for the Network. It’s always interesting to hear the notes because it helps me package my presentation on my own projects in the future. It’s been a long day and unfortunately that doesn’t leave a […]
