Fay is still on my radar. I love the story and have it out to Pete Wilgoren who is the Executive Producer at CBS2 News. He’s a wonderful writer who has a book called Dadmissions that he is currently shopping around. He also blogs for the Huffington Post about his hilarious adventures as the father […]

One of my favorite movies is Gone With The Wind. It’s been my favorite movie since Middle School when I sent out Scarlett O’Hara invitations to my 13th birthday party. GWTW is an epic story of war, love and drama. I adored Katie Scarlet’s selfish streak and her hard headed stubbornness. Not only was she […]

I love my short film Fay. Women love it too. I need feedback from men, so I have it out to a writer friend from CBS now who I know will give me his honest opinion. I really want the next film I produce to appeal to everyone which means finding a balance. With Rome […]

Fay is complete and out to a few people for feedback. I heard back from my sister who says it made her cry. That made me smile because it means I’ve done my job. A few minor tweaks later, and I read it again. Now, it’s me who’s crying and not the gentle tear that […]

We went to an event today where I spoke with a writer/director of a $3.6 million feature film loaded with A-list talent that is currently all over Cable and is available on Redbox. The project took 3 years of development before it got made, even though the script only took 3 weeks to write. It’s […]

I keep a list of ideas for projects that I add to daily. Most are features, others shorts, pilots and even some websites similar to Ebay or Kickstarter. The list has swelled to nearly 100 ideas. Some have made it to the page, others sit and wait their turn. The best ones are the ideas […]

As I revisit the short version of Fay, I am thinking about casting. It will be a while before we take that step, so I’ve picked a few photos that represent the ideal cast in my head. This is how I picture Fay at 8 to 12 years old – sad and lonely, but that […]

As I sat with a fellow parent watching our kids jump in a bouncy house, we knocked out the typical small talk. How long have you lived here? How do you like the area? What do you do for a living? He is an actor, as am I, but that’s not all he does or […]

As I write the feature version of Fay, I keep thinking about the original version of the story which was a short…It left a powerful lasting impression and brought tears to my eyes every time I read it. It’s also something we could shoot in a weekend. With all my projects and ideas that pop […]

In a network television show, the writer’s room is where all the ideas get brought out and debated. The bad ideas fall away and the worthy stay. Tonight, Brad and I conducted our own version of a writer’s room, where we brainstormed a new project that we are developing (known as “breaking a story”). When […]
