The Dog did it...

What do you mean? I've been working... I swear...

If life were like a screenplay - mine would play out something like this:

Even though he was toiling in obscurity on cable television - the young director producer was moderately successful. Living a wonderful East Coast life, traveling the world - and spending time with his wonderful family kept him happy, comfortable and satisfied.

Or did it?

One day, he decided to chuck it all - except his family - and follow his dreams. Making a feature. He left all he knew - his home, his job - and moved the family to Indiana - where he had raised a million dollars. Half of what he needed to make his film.

Going to Hollywood - he got people interested in his script. A producer passed it to a Director who passed it to a couple stars - and the movie jumped to a moderately budgeted film - picked up by a minimajor. Now they just had to wait for schedules to align...

But suddenly - it all crashes to the ground around him. He is broken. Unemployed. The stars drop out...

His one chance lies in selling a take to the BIG PRODUCER. It all comes down to one pitch. If he gets it - he is a hero. If he doesn't - he is a zero...

Sigh.

Thanks to Blair, Ralph and Ryan for reading over my notes and giving me comments.

This is a project that has been around for a few years - so I don't think there is any pressure from the studio to get it right - right away anyway. So unless I really have what it is that they are looking for - I most likely won't get the job.

But I do feel as if I have a really tight script with good beats and a cool story. So if they don't like it - it's not because I'm not a genius - it's because they are idiots... ;) No... It's cause it's not what they are looking for.

Wish me luck. Say a prayer. Baby needs a new pair of shoes...

And, Lord - if I get this job - I promise... No more dog porn....
