A Few Work Notes

Nothing much to report except a few work notes. While I continue to look for a job, I am also still flogging my three pitches around town. Yesterday I pitched to a guy named Jason Lust at Jim Henson Productions, which is now located at the old Chaplin studios on LaBrea. I believe they own that lot now, which is steeped in Hollywood history. (First it was Chaplin's Studio, then for the longest time it was the home of A&M records, now it's Henson.) The place is beautiful, although I take slight issue with the big cheesy Kermit-as-The-Little-Tramp that tips its hat to passersby.

Anyway I plied my trade there, and there were no takers. Still, Jason was very pleasant and certainly left the door open for future interactions.

This coming Friday I have my first meeting at Dreamworks on my Dolphin project. I first pitched it to them on April 7, so it gives you an idea of how long deals take, even on a project where I basically accepted their offer. Now we're in for at least a year or two of development, maybe five, and then either abandonment or a movie made. Be sure to check back in.
