Mark and Ted's Excellent Adventure in Drama

He once played a gnome like character that a wannabe writer locked in his closet to write his novels for him. That is mahmoud in a nutshell. The roll of his life. I wish I could find him. I'd like to lock him in my closet for this fest.

Jason,
are you talking about the Richard Greenberg play "The Author's Voice"?
always wondered who'd play that role in a production...and if their friends actually thought it was typecasting...

Mark,
truculent pudenda, huh? wow. i've never read something that required me to open a dictionary, and the end result still being me on the floor laughing!! you havent lost the knack - though i hope you're getting more sleep and better nourishment these days.
 
Whew! I am glad that I am not the ONLY one! Thanks Jason... smiles-Jason, not RamJet-Jason (though hello RamJet Jason!).

This is too confusing! :)

BTW smiles-Jason... nice job on Rekindled. Very nice work.

Ted
 
Smiles,
Yes, that is exactly the play I was referring to. "The Author's Voice" Mahmoud is that character. In real life, in any life. Due to his very odd & sheltered upbringing, he had a very unique outlook on things, and wrote some wild stuff as a result. Plus, like I said, he had sisters who were the mother of some of his other sisters from his father.... Yeah. That's Alabama for ya. It's not just in the movies. Except in this case it's not your typical "Redneck" He was the son of a Schizophrenic Muslim Father, and a Christian Nurse Mother.
Yeah. And my name is no longer Jason. It is Nosaj. There. Now I don't have to feel like an idiot anymore.

Thanks,
Nosaj
 
I'm loving some of the stuff on this thread already. You guys rock. Ah, Nosaj. I like that too. I used to go by Nosnhoj, myself.

Well, Mr. Arabian arrives in Los Angeles tomorrow morning and we're hitting it hard with pre-production. We're going to be doing some technical shots and will be completely immersed with acting auditions. I am always reminded how lucky we are to have the teeming masses making their way to La La land like Lemings. We hope to snag a few of the more talented members of the pool before their dreams are crushed and they return to the QuickTrip in Des Moines.

We do have some interesting roles to cast and I'm grateful to have Ted's considerable acting experience at the table for these readings. Hopefully, by the end of next week we can have some announcements as to casting.
 
Best of luck to you Ted & Mark. I'm anxiously awaiting to see what you guys can produce this time around!
 
Man I want to come to LA for the auditions!!!
oh well... the time will come, no? ;)

can't wait to see what 'hot co-eds' you cast for TTN... all i know is, you have your choice so CHOOSE WISELY... lol, also... be sure to make them prove their commitment (team america, anyone?)

long live TTN!

Herman, I'm glad you have a sense of humor. Hope to see you over there some day.

TED, ... I KNOW Jack Stanley and, believe me, you are NO Jack Stanley. ...... :)

If you haven't noticed, I'm shamelessly trying to get Jack to appear in our thread by dropping his name a lot. ... :)
 
This is a pairing that I have no doubt will come up with something pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing where you guys take this one.

Great title by the way!

You are not going to get Jack over here to visit our thread... He has much more "important" things to do like make a big feature film or something....

whatever.

:)

PS - Thank you for noticing that I am NOT Jack Stanley!
 
I've been following your thread, khmuse, and I'm totally impressed you are going to shoot "OVER 30 LOCATIONS." Jeez, louize. You've certainly got my attention.

Yeah, its a bit of a challenge. I am working to secure the locations in as few of municipalities as possible, otherwise the permitting costs are gonna kill me. This one has a cutting pace comparable to a commercial so its gonna have one hell of a shot list. Blaine emailed me the element and scene reports this afternoon, it does look a bit daunting right now.
 
You know, this time around why don't we organize a little party in L.A. when the films are in the can. There's got to be a ton of DVXUSERs in the basin. Being relatively new, I'm not aware if you guys have organized or gathered before. It seems like a great idea from this side anyway.
 
That is a good idea and a great excuse to get together. You wouldn't believe how hard it's been trying to get people together...no one wants to step up...
 
Well, count me in because I am on my way!!!!!!!!!!

I am heading off to the airport!!!

See you soon Mark! PARTNER!

Ted

PS - I am liking your new banner!
 
Hey Ted!

Can't wait to see you out here tomorrow! When you get to our primary shooting location you should recognize the banner/poster!

See you in the a.m.!

Mark
