OK, let's face it, I'm not a natural blogger. Or maybe it's the fact that I've been busy writing a screenplay for HBO Films. But yesterday I checked the number of hits for this site and was stunned by how many people had come to the blog so guess what - I will try to do better.
Two bits of Special Thanks news: We had a really nice review and they were kind to print an interview with me in.
RealTalkLA Check it out. Also at
Bruce Gilbert's wedding (a beautiful beautiful day in La Jolla) we bumped into
Michael Baser who had not heard of the film, but had known Roy. His first question was 'Did you interview
Martin Lawrence -- Roy worked with him a lot.' The answer, No we didn't because we didn't even know that Roy had coached
Martin Lawrence. Still after all this time we are still discovering people that Roy worked with. It's astonishing.
Another 'documentary' that Karen and I made is starting to make the rounds of the festival circuit. It's an adaptation of a one-woman-play by and starring
Kaiulani Lee about
Rachel Carson the 'mother' of the environmental movement. It's called
A SENSE OF WONDER and rather than just film the stage play we opened it out to make it like a documentary about
Rachel Carson, shot in 1962, shortly before her death. Look out for it. It looks beautiful because our dear friend Haskell Wexler shot it.
Anyhow, I better get back to the screenplay. It's about the amazing
Dr. Temple Grandin and will be directed by
Mick Jackson I'll let you know more as I get more info.
