That's Life

Heard back from the one of two people who requested my comedy from the networking newsletter. He thought it was funny and would make a “nice TV movie”, not a movie for the movie theaters, which is what he’s looking for. “A nice TV movie?” Riiiight. I’m sorry, but this is a movie movie, NOT a TV movie. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. If somebody wants to make it a TV movie, be my guest. I’ll cash the check.

Then. Then! The wife of the feature director who’s reading the same comedy calls from Australia about a different matter (plus, she invited us to the film premiere in May --yay!). She tells me he has read my script and to follow up. So I do. Shoot ‘em an email. He replies back tonight and says “it was a good script and probably very commercial.” Actually, too commercial for his taste.

So lemme get this straight. I’ve got one guy telling me it’s not commercial enough for a theatrical release and would be better suited for a TV movie. Then, on the other hand, I’ve got a professional film director telling me it’s very commercial. LMAO!

I should just become my own director. I keep saying that, but I think that’s probably what it will come down to someday. Tune in …

Meanwhile, still trying to pinpoint a time to meet Mr. Movie Star’s producing partner. The last date I suggested to meet in LA he said he will be in NY. So, I told him I’m currently in NY, let’s meet there. Waiting to hear a time he’d like to finally meet.

Then, I talked to my dad and he tells me to call my brother because he just had a biopsy yesterday. Lovely. Apparently, he’s had this rash and suspects it might be lymphoma. Let’s hope not. He already had Hodgkin’s Disease, so this would not be good. Hopefully, he’ll be okay. And if it is lymphoma, hopefully they caught it in time to eradicate it from his body. Ugh. And here I thought he looked the best I’ve ever seen him the last time I saw him in October.

That’s my day in a nutshell.
