June 15, 2023: Updates and such!

Got some great feedback on my cozy mystery pilot (Thanks, Rebecca!) and made some tweaks.  Feeling pretty good about this one.  If nothing else, most who have read it to provide notes said it was a quick and enjoyable read, so here's hoping the various execs and prospective decision-makers will be equally entertained (or, at…

June 12, 2023: A Productive Day!

Yozo! Productive day today.  Finished a first pass on the third issue of my horror comic.  Then, got some notes back on my mystery pilot and implemented them.  Rebecca, check your inbox! Hey, look at what arrived in the mail yesterday! Since starting work on that mystery script, I've been on a Columbo tear, discovering…

June 2, 2023: More Stargate BTS vids! Developments!

This Mortal Coil... Air, Part 1... Broken Ties... Finished the first draft of my murder mystery pilot and I'm happy...for the most part.  I still feel the ending is a little too easy, the evidence maybe a little too circumstantial, and my first reader, Ivon,  agrees.  We'll take the weekend to think about it.  Maybe…

June 1, 2023: Project Update!

My horror movie intake has started to flagging only 242 films into this extended marathon.  And with less than 60 to go before I hit the big 3-0-0!  To be fair, I have been distracted by development work and trying to get this high concept, low budget horror movie off the ground, but I'm going…

May 30, 2023: Slow Progress and Stargate vids!

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1663641585404264448 Things are settling in on the honor film front.  Spoke to my line producer and my director today.  Tomorrow, I chat with a contact in Bulgaria.  Next week, it's a sit-down lunch to muscle through the budget and then, the week after that, it's a lunch/dinner Tax Credit 101! A few more Stargate behind…

May 29, 2023: Recommend me a binge-worthy series with fewer than 50 episodes that was produced in the last 5 years and is in the same league as The Sopranos, The Shield, and Breaking Bad!

https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1663215989343789057 I really wanted to keep it within a specific budget range, and that seems unlikely so, at this point, I can either scrap it or consider a different shooting location - maybe Bulgaria or Serbia?  What are the tax credits in Yemen like? Received feedback on the second issue of my horror comic.  So…
