Recap and Precap

wishbonemedia — Sat, 23 May 2009 19:43:00 +0000

This week has absolutely flown by…how in the world can it be Saturday already?
Well, a lot is going on for one that’s why….

Hilarie was here setting up meetings/ laying down podcasts along with finishing up her work on Providence of Night… helping me put together a shooting crew and booking equipment… then off to NYC for more meetings… she’s also been writing and editing SGP sales material. She never stops working…

Nick is not only tightening the webisode script up but he is also prepping to also direct it!! So double the work load for him. He’s been meeting with the actors, picking out their wardrobes… deciding which props and set dressing he wants…along with trying to do a re-write on Population 8… and finish editing our short…whew!

Have I mentioned before just how amazing Nick is? We are so lucky that he is part of SGP!!!

We also somehow fit in a tech scout with the keys at the location we’re shooting at for the webisode… It’s a great location, I can’t wait for you to see it!

James has been working on the shot list with Nick, fine tuning the call sheet along with taking care of a ton of other details needing to be finalized before the shoot. Folks…let me tell you… he’s doing a fine job, juggling so many different production hats at the same time…

Levi set up a conference call with me late in the week that has turned out to be very fruitful, we will be meeting with several more financial groups to pitch our projects to over the course of the next few weeks.

Ali is leading a team of SGP friends working day and night (Megan, Leon, Niamh, Andrea, Astrid, Amber,Veronica, GeOh, Rebecca et al… and Andy at Wishbone) helping me get our website launched… (I can honestly say that without all their help, my head would have exploded long ago!!!) Thank you all for supporting SGP!!! Anyway, the website should go up on Wednesday… if all goes well!!

So as you can see, a busy week ahead also… Oh heck, it’s gonna be an awesome week!

Enjoy your holiday weekend all! I’m leaving you a link to a site that a friend sent me this morning… watch the video and let me know what you think… it made me think of all our friends around the world helping SGP… Take 5 minutes and listen.

You really will feel good!

Onward,
kt

Behind the scenes, rarely talked about in public is the business of raising capitol for film projects. Believe me when I tell you that it is a very, very challenging job. A stockbroker friend of mine once told me that “selling oil to the Saudis would be easier”… Levi Boyd has taken on this Herculean task of helping us raise film funds along with (camera shy) Mr. Eddie Jones.

Both have been working with us on getting the SGP Business Model, the Private Placement Memorandum and other various and pertinent Investor tools ready to use,
along with setting up preliminary talks with potential investors.
Without their hard work and dedication this project would be that much harder…
Thank you Levi and Eddie for all your support!!!
Onward!

on the fringe…

wishbonemedia — Thu, 21 May 2009 20:22:00 +0000

so. as kelly twittered earlier today, the week began with some staggering news. my play, population: 8, was accepted into the new york international fringe festival! i found out tuesday morning, and upon hearing so, spent the remainder of the day stupefied. i’m embarrassed to say that my knowledge on the fringe is relatively little, and so details as of now, can only be few. i do know that the festival itself occurs between august 14th-30th, and so i hope our SGP street team representing the manhattan and adjacent boroughs will mark those dates on their calendars. actual show times could be noons, could be midnights. i can also say that the fringe is a really remarkable platform on which i am floored to have the opportunity to showcase my work.

in february, just as our blog was a sprite newborn, i found myself in NYC for a staged reading of population: 8. i had spent the end of the 2008 submitting the play for varying opportunities of the like around the country, and this one, with the process group, was the first that i had received word on. and i was in the humbling company of some other new works by theater wunderkinds like david bar katz and liz duffy adams. the reading itself was a heavy happening that i still carry proudly with me in one or another compartments of my mind. it was the first time that i had heard the play read aloud, and as is the primary purpose of readings, i learned an immense deal about the piece. i also learned a thing or two about being stunned, stunned that the actors that had literally read the play once or twice were able to connect so quickly, thoroughly, and quite marvelously to this work that i had written, stunned that the process group’s producer jennifer makholm had wanted so much to take this little weirdo play and swaddle it so close to her heart, and stunned that the director marc stuart weitz too took on such a keen adoptive interest.

when producer and director asked me if i had any want in pursuing the fringe under their umbrella, i knew that there was only one response to be had. these two were reminiscent of another familiar two that were brightly becoming my friends and mentors, hilarie and kelly. people who, more important than anything else, understand and nurture what it is i want to say. until it happens, it is rare to recognize that that particular factor trumps all else.

briefly. population: 8 is a kind-of-curious, kind-of-lovely drama about the remaining eight residents that roam the land of a small town in north dakota. pepper, ugly, cree, man, ruth, mccoy, frankie, sylvie. you know how i feel about names. i welcome you to use your imagination with regard to their world. i certainly did.

so that’s the good news.
the bad news is that after we finish shooting the webisode on tuesday you might find me on hiatus for a while. this guy’s got some rewriting to do…
details as they come.

susan miller on astrologyzone.com has been promising me for at least three years that the stars have been aligning in my favor. i guess this year she wasn’t just joshin’.

yours.
