Hi Folks!
Some strange, way-over-my-head, potentially positive things are happening with one of my scripts. It's WAY too early to tell anything about it, except that I've spent portions of the last 2 days swapping e-mails with the vice-president of a mid-level production company who is tryng to figure out a way "To make this happen", and has forwarded my script to friends of his who run much Bigger ProdCos.
God's got other, truly important things, to be concerned about, so there's no need to bother The Big Guy, but if'n y'all wanna simply send some Positive Vibes, please feel free to do so:-)
Could be days/weeks/montsh before I hear anything back, but will update when I do.
'preciate it.
Midnite

Congrats, Midnite, this shows that you're working at a very high level and can expect more of these as well as having some, maybe this one, break through. Mike P.S. The big guy wants us to go to him with any and everything. No job's too big or too small for the big guy.
You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash It's only music. -niteshift Mike Dunbar Music

Well Midnite, I have a song I must have written just for you. It is Entitled AROUND THE HORN. It will be on a new web site that I will post a link to as soon as it's up in a day or two on the Industry Page.

Sounds great Bob, I know you have been working long and hard ... and will continue to work long and hard! Hey you might become one of those "over night success stories" that we all hear about! I hope good things happen for you this year.

I hope the merit of your script sells itself and we get to say "I know that guy" or "kinda"!! Excited to hear both stories (the script) and the outcome of this when the time is right of course. Sharing your excitement and delightment, Lynn I've got the popcorn on standby!!

Mike Who else here would know but MD? I remember a few years ago when I was contacted by an A&R guy at Rounder Records about some of my music. I asked MD for advice, and remember him saying (paraphrase), "you've made it to this rung of the ladder, no reason to step down, and/or you can climb that high again". Point being, if it doesn't happen, you can do it again. My deal never happened, but I know that I'm capable of doing it again, thanks to MD's advice.

Very Cool Bob! (Midnite) Good feeling huh? WHEN you get something going with it, please keep me in mind for scoring. Ascap liked me for doing that,,,so. LOL And keep other avenues open for other scripts to others if possible. If one of them is that good to get your current activity, there could be more wanting to use your work too. Keep working the field. Johnny

That's way cool Midnite !
I sure hope it has something to do with the 50 states thing. ( I won't reveal the title )
That is one cool script. And if it's not that one, well, I'm sure it's one which is equally deserving.
Am mentally tying my balls in a knot for ya ! Ouch ! Best of luck !
cheers, niteshift

Thanks to EVERYONE for their Vibes, encourgagement and advice. It's a long, long road, as you all know, and this is just another turn...Go easy on the popcorn Lynn, could be a while:-)
It's not the 50 States one, Nite, but since you mentioned it, and in such glowing terms:-), I started a complete rewrite of it about 2 weeks ago---and I mean COMPLETE rewrite, and it's going really well, so well in fact, that the same VP I've been communicating with also asked for the first 15 pages to read!
For now, I'm just trying to keep writing and remembering to breath, but when (hint hint)a VP says things like "I'm sending it over to a friend at Sony Pictures and another friend who runs Ellen DeGenreres' production company"....Well, you can understand the tizzy I'm in....While always keeping in mind what Hunter S. Thompson ALMOST said:
"Hollywood is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
