Yahoo, my Short Script, "Witchdoctor" will have a live read at the Houston Script2Screen program on May 5th at Houston Community College.

Went to the Worldfest International Film Festival the last two nights.  Saw an interesting film "Another Day in Paradise".  About an Aging Surfer and his two daughter that run a Water Park in Arizona, all the trials, tribulations and headaches that go with it.

Went to the SAG-AFTRA annual meeting on Sunday at the Media Tech Center.  There were a bunch of great actors there.

Ok, just ordered my VIP Ticket for Houston WorldFest.  Should be an interesting Film Festival.

Yahoo, just had a producer from NY request to read my new Short Script.  I hope she likes it and wants to make a deal.  Also, two more classes to go to complete my Thriller Class assignments.  Full steam ahead.

Yahoo, completed the 9th day of my Thriller Screenwriting Class.  Learned to intertwine twist and turns in the plot.

Went to a very exciting Film Industry meeting last night at the Houston Community College on Hayes Road.  The Rep from the Texas Film Commission talked about how the Texas Film Incentives work.  The Prez of the Texas Motion Picture Alliance talked about how they plan to keep and increase the Film Incentives.  But most important, Houston own Greg Carter, Director/Producer, of the TV series, "The 5th Ward", announced that his series has been given the green light for 2 more seasons on BET.  That was wonderful news.

Going to a Film Industry meeting tonight at 6:30 pm at the Houston Community College on Hayes Road.  The Texas Film Commission along with many from the Film community will be in attendence.  Not sure what they will talk about, but I suspect it is about the Status of the Film Industry in Texas, about raising Film Incentives and much, much more.  Be there or you don't have knife or gun in this fight.

Well, got submitted for a SAG Film in Louisiana.  Also, completed my 3rd assignment in my Screenwriting class.  I now have a good story and foundation for my Thriller Screenplay.  Hopefully I will have ready to market Thriller at the end of the Class.  In case you didn't know, Thrillers are the most sought after Screenplays in Hollywood.

Well, just completed my second class of 15 class screenwriting assignment.  In this one we created the Log Line for a Thriller Script.  Hopefully at the end, I will have the basics of a new Thriller Script.

On the Writing Class Assignment, looked at Thriller movies last night to select one that meet the Class Map for Thrillers.  Selected a Johnny Dep movie "Transcendence" to evaluated and compare.  Who are the Hero's, who are the villains, suspenseful moments, twist and turns, unexpected changes.  "Transcendence" is full of these.

Yahoo, taking a 3 week Class in "How to Write a Thriller."  Should be an interesting 3 weeks.

Went to the Film Industry Meeting at Pho Crab on Westheimer.  Was a Feisty meeting.  Topics discussed were Union work in a "Right to Work State".  Young, untrained actors acquiring their SAG card without much training.  Non-qualified trainers teaching Acting Lessons.  An finally talk about a new Sound Stage in Houston for Episodic.  People attending were all mixes from the Film Industry.

The SAG-AFTRA Monthly Mixer will be held on February 20th at CIRO's Restaurant at 9755 Katy Freeway at Bunker Hill Rd.  Be there and see what's happening in the Film Industry.

Hello Everyone, well a lot of things have happen since I returned from New Mexico and since the last post.  1) The Movie "Bagatelle" went NON-UNION and left me out in the Cold standing in the Parking Lot.  2)  I have written a Screenplay called "Crackerjacks" which is about training Pilots for WWI.  In September 2018, it won Best Action Screenplay at the Revolution Film Festival.  Thank you Mr. James Christopher, Festival Director.  I am now in the process of development and marketing it into a Major Film.  The Films logline, "America's First Top Guns implement a complicated and tricky plan to defeat German Spies and a saboteur", can be found on my profile on Script32 and is published in Inktip magazine.  3) Wow, I had my first ever Audition for a National Commercial for the Super Bowl.  I felt so honored just to be included with all the Actors that got to Audition.  Stay tuned, more to come in the Future.
