Ok here is some exciting news!! A little over a year ago I wrote a short film which I plan to produce and direct, then use the resulting film to fund a feature based on the same story line.
The film is called The Note here is a brief synopsis of the story is: A man in love with the same woman his whole life has never had the courage to take the steps to tell her. When presented with the chance, he seeks advice in the strangest of places; in his deli from one of his customers, an old pleasant looking grandmother, someone who radiates nothing but happiness.
Well earlier this year I submitted the script to the film festival DC Shorts. They have a short film screen writing competition, and I have learned, this year approx 96 scripts were submitted and the judges picked 6 scripts to be preformed on stage during the festival. The Note was one of the six. Yeah!!
When the scripts are preformed during the festival the audience votes on their favorite, then the festival totals the audience votes and the judge’s votes and names a winner. The winner gets money to make the film, guaranteed screening at the festival in ’09 (If they get the film finished and submitted by the 09 deadline) and assuming the film is completed as an extra incentive they give the screen writer more money for completing the film. It is a great thing... So, if you find yourself in our nation’s capitol Sept 13, you need to come see my short film acted out on stage by a group of actors. By bud Justin Tully is going to be one of the actors performing the short at the festival.

Shoot Wireless commercial. Turns out Justin and I have call times that are 30 minutes apart so we rode together. Good shoot, I spent some time getting Santa’d up. Had a lot of fun doing the spot, I really look forward to seeing it. Also got to watch Terry and Justin work. Both were really funny. Justin looked like a young Tom Cruise and had all the girls on the set drooling.. heck I was too. Lots of fun!!!

Ok, where do I begin? How about this, short and sweet… Three for Three!!!! I booked the Carolina West Wireless spot, but as something I didn’t even audition for – SANTA!!!!! Turns out, Stacie @ MODELOGIC [WILHELMINA] didn’t do auditions for a Santa, so when I read for all the other spots, (I had auditioned for 3) they (director, producer, client) love’d me but couldn’t fit me into one of the spots. Well the Park Group who produced the spots held auditions at other places and they couldn’t find a Santa that made them happy. So they picked me. Yeah for me!!
So Three for Three, Terry Jernigan and Justin Tully and me rode to the callback together and all three of us booked it.

Call back today @ MODELOGIC [WILHELMINA] for the wireless phone spot. Two of my buddies, Terry Jernigan and Justin Tully both got call backs too, so we all jumped in my truck and headed to Richmond. I was happy with my read the director, gave me some direction and I did what he asked (I think).
Well on the way home, both Justin and Terry got calls, they both booked the spot (the client was doing about 4 or 5 different ones). Congrats fellows. (I didn’t book – ARGH)
