An overview from the past.



OK. After almost 5 years of film-related classes, 2 years of screenwriting, and 3 years of writing, and re-writing the script, workshopping the script with my writing group, 2 rehearsal films to support the project, a website, storyboards, networking constantly, securing the TOP producer in the Bay Area (Debbie Brubaker, look her up on imdb.com), a comprehensive budget completed with schedule, a solid busines plan, and securing a top Casting Director, Nina Henninger.... I think, NO, I KNOW, that this project is OFF the ground, hovering ever so slightly and ready for take off!

It's really amazing how much work goes into creating a feature film. It's really a job, equal to building a major suspension bridge or a complicated skyscraper. Planning, planning, planning...

Hard work DOES pay off in the end.

I am meeting with Nina, the casting director this week to brainstorm over what A-list talent to target and for what parts. It is a juicy job, figuring out who we want and why. This is the FUN stuff.
