Thanks! During too many previous fests, I've been out on regular series work. The money is nice, but reality TV has definitely taken its toll on my creative energy.

Today, I've got page one, two and six almost finished. The ending didn't come first, but did reveal itself to me during my trip to San Francisco.

I'm excited about the project!

Thanks! Where is the high desert? I spent a lot of time in my yute out there near Barstow camping and four-wheeling.

Did you say, "yutes"?

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. The last thing I saw, I think, was the Grindhouse thing you did with Kimko and Callahan.

Barstow would be part of the High Desert. It starts at the top of the Cajon Pass as you come up from the Inland Empire and then spreads out across the vast plane leading to Vegas.
 
Thanks, Blaine. Yeah, it was good collaborating with some DVXUsers on that. Also had Jeremy Ordan on that one. Unfortunately, we only had one day to do that trailer. If we'd spent a week on it, we might've gotten something better. Excuses, excuses!

On the fests, I feel like the guy who never does anything around here. I have one of those "good problems", where my television work keeps me from working on stuff like this. At the moment, I'm between seasons, so I'll concentrate on this nut. Once the script is locked as a first-draft, I'll be much more confident as I discuss collaborating with the other users who have already contacted me. For the moment, I'm committed to not getting in my own way.

Is there anything quite like Devore in the summertime? I think not. Well, maybe Yermo, CA in the summertime.

Gabriel, thanks. Did you ever find your project? Hope so. I'm trying to keep up with everyone else on their entries - and still get mine done.

A mid-September shoot should give us enough time for bullet-proof pre-production phase and lots of time - six weeks - to accomplish two or three VFX shots, a score and titles.

I'm working diligently to keep it to four and one-half pages. Five at max.

Thanks Tom. Are you ready to shave your head and come to the NC for the role of a lifetime? That is, if your lifetime is the duration of this fest.
