Looking at the date, I realize it’s been almost a year since my last update on this topic.
And now, for actual certainty, I can say that “Fight or Flight” is being made. Of course, there’s a lot of days and updates and Hollywood madness in the past year. Generally, I didn’t post any of that information because so much of it was talk instead of reality.
If you’d like to start at the beginning of all this, click HERE.
So I’m making a movie. At least, that’s what they tell me.
You know, “they”… the folks that run everything, especially Hollywood.
In the case of “Fight or Flight”, “they” are the folks getting the money together (my producers) and the folks actually writing the checks for said money (Magical elves, I believe). I dunno, actually… I just work here.
Strange things have been happening. Wonderfully Strange.
It started Labor Day Weekend, when my long time manager called to say he was going to talk to someone about one of my scripts. Fine. Great. But I’ve been in this chase long enough to not give this much thought. Lots of conversations happen. Talk is very, very cheap. But I’d rather he’d talk about my work than ignore it!
The meeting was with a small film producer who’s been doing work in Lafayette, Louisiana – allowing him access and experiences with the tax breaks and cheap production opportunities available there. And now he was in Los Angeles looking for new projects and people to work with.
Fast forward three weeks and I’m sitting in an office at the YARI FILM GROUP, meeting with Bob Yari’s #2 guy because we’re making my film.
I’ll stop for a minute and allow that to sink in.
