Starting the year off scouting locations for a new studio and stages I'm building in Eastern Europe. Gonna be wild. Land financing done. Working out the LED stage deal. ~$18m / $22m secured.

Fell into this and didn't imagine it would move with momentum but now I'm meeting with government ministers (and a minister of energy, lul) and they're now pushing to bring the project into the country.

If xo crew want in let me know and we can chat.

Thinking of doing a real look at rainmaking model and bottle lawyers, their evolution into pudgy Norwood 7s pulling the ladder up desperately thinking they can fix the lives they destroyed if they could just bill a few more hours. Instead, we find them back at the page with a \ in the corner and the links, well, the links are still purple.

You should do the old Hollywood studio model with actors signed exclusively to your studio. Should be able to lock up a bunch of Ofs Counsel and 12th year associate types that way.

If you have something you're passionate about that can be done for less than $12m I can prob help. Not sure I'd add more to my slate, but would at least help set it up and see if we can get some traction with it and get some talent attached. If there's momentum we can hand off production to a selected producer and let it ride.

if you need rewrites, drafts, coverage, etc... thats what I do now. Give me your idea - I'll give you a script. Give me a script - I'll give you a rewrite.

I gave up spec writing years ago. sadly its just not worth the effort in todays market.

Has anything you've worked on ever actually come out? You've been poasting this shtick for years and zero deliveries. Where's your imdb? Low effort flame.

Wouldn't link films you can directly associate with me on here. Everyone here, all 8 of you, have seen at least 1 film I've worked on, probably dozens tbh.

I'll post some pics of the delegation trip next week at least.

A bunch of bald middle aged (or older) lawyers sitting around posting in the same forum for 20 years. Apple TV. Helvetica show title font, white of course. Season 1 overarching plot: Will the SSL Cert be renewed? Working title: Gaylawyers from Autistic Space. We'll release 1 season every 4 years.
