This past week, I met some film financiers and people with access to money who are potentially very interested in my second feature. I don't want to say much more than that (lest I jinx anything), but there was some real enthusiasm for the movie when I pitched it informally. And I mentioned that I'd have the script done by the end of September. Which is certainly realistic. But it's going to take a lot of work. In fact, this weekend I was basically a shut in and got a lot done on the screenplay. In fact, the only social thing that I really did was to meet a friend and another friend of hers for an early dinner in the West Village. Still, it was a lot of fun. And today, after I post this entry, I'm going to continue writing (or, rather, editing) again.
The only other thing of note to mention is that I ran into my old friend Jen Dubz as I was walking back to my apartment early this afternoon after picking up some food. I haven't seen her in a year or two. Not since the last time I ran into her on the street. We talked about people from our old crowd, almost all of whom are in the film industry. Everybody seems to be doing quite well. Working at production/distribution/etc./etc. companies. Financing movies. Optioning books. And blah, blah, blah. Other than Jen, running into Pauline Piechota on the street a few months ago and Lauren Purcell, I haven't seen any of those people in ages. Time flies, I guess.
