The first 50k won't come until production actually starts...I believe 1/2 at the beginning of the "principle shooting", and then the rest to follow at different stages. Until then, you'll have to live on the %10 option money...

And I believe that the law is that Actors wait tables, and writers drive cabs(or perhaps horse & buggies in your charming neck of the globe:-)) between nervous breakdowns, and hope that the next DeNiro is his waiter while he's typing at a WIFI friendly cafe.

So the chances are fairly dismal. Anyone want to borrow my camcorder ? smile

Back to waiting tables.....No, that's actors right ? Back to sitting around in public, tapping away on the laptop right ? Am I on my way ?

cheers, niteshift

Satchel was right. Something is gaining on me.
