So, I'm circling the week of November 11th to be back in L.A. for another round of pitches and generals. This time, I'll be going out with one big pitch - and a few briefer targeted pitches including that military sci-fi series, the far future spaceship series, and the high concept horror movie (or possibly…

October 15, 2019: Back home!
I'm back home following a whirlwind 3-day visit to Montreal to visit with mom, sis, and my cousin who was in the hospital for heart surgery. By all accounts, it went well and she's hopefully on the road to a speedy recovery. She'd been complaining of trouble breathing for three weeks now, assuming it was…
October 14, 2019: Sulli

Had dinner with writer-producer Alan McCullough (Stargate, Reign, Private Eyes). It was great catching up - and hard to believe that next year will mark the 25th anniversary of SG-1's premiere. 25 years!
