Networking

K here.

Another Indie Club: Cleveland meeting has gone and passed. We saw some interesting shorts from local directors/producers/writers, and we listened to an informative talk about pyrotechnics.

We met a guy from Ohio University who might be interested in doing some collab work. He owns a Canon XL-1s (an upgrade from the XL-1) so who knows what we might be able to do? Andy, a guy we met in February, also wants to meet on Wednesday, so that we might go over some script ideas with him. He has an 80 page (handwritten) screenplay that needs to be fleshed out.

We registered the treatment with the WGA. Now all we have to do is shoot the 3 minute short and send it off. Hopefully good things come our way with this project.

M and I have started work on our screenplays. We're planning on entering BlueCat in March (or by the final deadline of April) as well as Nicholls in May, Final Draft in June, ABC/Disney, also in June, Zoetrope in August, and perhaps some other contests.

I wholeheartedly believe that this year, as The Zombies say, will be our year.

Coppola got robbed!

K here.

Zoetrope founder and filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola got his computer stolen a few days ago while working at Zoetrope Argentina. His latest script "Tetro" was on the computer, as well as other files, including pictures of his family. All of this leaves me with just one question:

There's a Zoetrope Argentina...?!
