I would love to work with Nicky Katt, for he is genius.

NICKY KATT in Soderbergh’s FULL FRONTAL:

In response to the quandary “we need to find a new Eva Braun”

You know what? Fuck her. And here’s why. One, anyone who’s offended by drinking blood, obviously doesn’t drink blood. Two, anyone who drinks as much blood as I do knows it has no effect. Three, there is absolutely no scientific connection between drinking a shot of blood a day and being an extraordinary actor. And four, it is impossible to prove Number Three.

After a few months in the post production oven…VAMLET is almost ready to be unleashed on the world…

Look for VAMLET in FILM FESTIVALS in 2012!

ADVANCED ALIENS DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO MAKE CONTACT WITH EARTH

CrazySmart Alien “what do you think?”

SuperSmart Alien “Well…they still have religion.”

CrazySmart Alien “Oh, cool! But wait…it’s in the fiction section, right?”

SuperSmart Alien “Not really…”

CrazySmart Alien “Seriously?”

SuperSmart Alien “Yes.”

CrazySmart Alien “But didn’t you say they have the power of flight?”

SuperSmart Alien “I did.”

CrazySmart Alien “Shit. Let’s give them another thousand years.”

SuperSmart Alien “Really?”

CrazySmart Alien “You’re right. Better make it ten thousand.”

SuperSmart Alien “Sounds good. Let’s hit Titan.”

CrazySmart Alien “Awesome.”

NEW MOVIES

Trying to raise the money to make the next movie. Got the script. The cast is going to be no problem. Just need a bit of dough…

RECOIL

Just working on the Director’s cut. Will be ready very soon!

A NIGHT FOR DYING TIGERS

Working on getting it delivered to all the folks who are waiting for delivery.

VAMLET

Picture is damn near locked. Audio is pretty rough. Waiting for new RAM and software for the computer.

TEXT

Writing LOTS of new stuff, and I mean lots. It would be nice to take a little trip and finish off some scripts, but things are pretty busy around here.

OTHER STUFF

While we transition to a cleaner (non-wordpress) site, if anybody needs to buy DVDs of The Ennead, You, Me, Love, etc…please email Cinemanovel Films at:

cinemanovel (at) gmail (dot) com

All of my Wordpress websites were hacked.

I’m deleting everything, including the Cinemanovel Site, sadly.

It will take a bit, but I’ll have something up very soon.

“WHEN LIFE WAS GOOD” is back for a few more days.

See it again, for the first time.

Lesli Brownlee is ALISON in VAMLET

There are so many helpful blogs out there. I thought it might be nice to post a link to a good one every once in a while.

So, instead of the usual rantings and updates (although they follow)…

John August

Great tips and inspiration for screenwriters (working and aspiring).

WHAT IS NEW?

Writing, spec script went out. Fingers crossed.

Editing VAMLET, getting there…

Re-edit on THE RED ROOSTER, new music, shorter version. It’s a lot stronger now cut down from 84 to 74 minutes, and, with the Darling Music artists on the soundtrack, it actually feels more…grounded, somehow…the way the music of SOLARISTS works with the landscape is perfect.

Prep begins on RECOIL in two weeks!

Working on a bunch of new spec material.

On December 13, 2007, I pitched CBC an original Action/Comedy television series called “InSecurity.”

They politely declined to option or develop the concept. They felt it didn’t speak to their demographic.

Yesterday, I saw posters on a wall near my home for a new CBC Action/Comedy called “InSecurity.”

Wow.

I suppose that’s just Jung’s “Collective Unconscious” at work…

My show was quite a bit…um…different, let’s say, but, still, it’s interesting…

FOLLOW EVERY SINGLE ONE.

WHAT IS THE MODEL?

I’ve written the best script I’ve ever written. It’s not an expensive film, logistically.

It’s ready to go into production this afternoon, but, there are a lot of obstacles to production. A lot of funding bodies and companies are structured to include protracted development. Development can be extremely helpful for a work-in-progress or a very early draft, however, when a script is ready for cast and camera, it’s not ideal.

So, I begin the quest for SERIOUS production partners. Equity investors and film finance companies.

Get some funding. Attach some great cast. Get the rest of the money. Shoot.

Seems simple enough.
