The film industry is a desert these days-- and not just on Arrakis. Salvaging a book out of my unsold pilot seems like a novel idea. Or is it?

Against my better instincts, I interviewed with a Fortune 500 company. Sell out? Desperate? You be the judge. With help from Albert Brooks, Mel Brooks (no relation) and Dustin Hoffman. And also, I got a new Sponsor. Pretty exciting for a 12th video. Thanks for watching.

In Media Res. Latin for "in the middle of the action." (Nothing gets a viewer excited like Latin.) Like my Intro Video, I'm just feeling met way through this. This is really a summation of where I am in my goals and in particular, a feature script rewrite.

As Impossible as it sounds, I try to use stages of rehabbing my injured knee as a metaphor for rehabbing a script. Obviously I'm out my mind. Hope you like the homage to The Graduate with my Thumbnail. Of course if you do, then you're either old or a complete anti-social film nut. In my car, I'm both.

My dad passed his love of movies on to me. In fact, without even so much as one therapy session, I have freed myself to blame him. It's his fault. Because of him I'm in this crazy industry. And this is my Gen X way of saying Thanks and See You Later. If you're not watching on the desktop, you're missing some of the fun! Color by NotTechnicolor Filmed in Caryoscopa-Vizione

I know everyone is waiting with bated breath to see the conclusion of the United Artists and Orion pictures saga. Well, here it is. You'd think that my experience seeing the back end accounting of Hollywood would inspire me to work in a more traditional industry. But you'd be wrong. I'm a glutton for punishment.

You've got that script just where you want it. It's ready. Now you have to put on your sales cap. But how do you get in the room to pitch your talent? Theoretically a Literary Manager. This is a video about my pursuit of a good one. Or at least a live one. Who will talk to me.

But nope, I'm human. I double down. You'd think my family's misguided investment in a film company would have taught me some hard truths about how the film industry works. But it didn't. I'm good at avoiding patterns if they tell me something I don't want to know. But to truly learn a lesson, you have to know history. And this little Geek Fest about how United Artists became Orion Pictures but still lost a lot of money from greed should scare me straight. Make me want to be a dentist. Or better yet an accountant.

A random welcome video.
