Fudge it. Why should I waste my time on something that will never happen? Instead... let's be free.
Think of the possibilities coming up! Are you excited? I kinda am. Let me tell you why.
I absolutely LOVED "Intouchables" and, well, once you watch it, you'll see why! But, that was a French movie about buddies from different worlds. (You have to watch the trailer to keep up with me!!) Now, America has made "Me Before You" and, after watching the TRAILER, I am soooo... EXCITED to see it! It features the adorable Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin! I love those two's talents separately and can't wait to see them share the big screen! Think of it as a Nancy Meyers film with old souls in young bodies. Isn't it romantic?
I'm putting aside some of my hiatus projects and keeping them there as I start a new YA urban/fantasy fiction. I want to make it a series but I can also end it whenever. I'm hoping to go places with this one, for sure!! It is based in Los Angeles, so that's always fun! I utilize my knowledge and have been researching like crazy to see what I can do and where I can go with the stories! I'm excited about it. It ties together a lot of what I want to make and the world I want to create. I just hope the readers are still out there. And i do know, for a fact, that it will make a compelling film. Maybe it's because I'm more of a filmmaker than an author, but I know how it's supposed to look and, believe me when I say, it will be my best debut as an author yet!! For now, keep on the look out for 'Resonance: Gate & Gatekeeper'!! Sounds like quite the story, right?? I can barely stop writing it, so I'm sure hoping my readers will barely be able to put it down!
For Umbrella Thoughts, we're getting ready for another intense and educational episode. We should feature the wonderful Celso along with Chris and myself (Tea), and we're hoping a rep from D.A.R.E. will come aboard and we can talk about their program, what they're doing, how to do more, and bullying in schools and life. It'll be exciting, so keep an eye out!! As for the usual podcast, CoTangent, here is the most recent episode from Ed & me!
I probably shouldn't say anything yet, but my small team and I recently pitched an Asian drama series to AMC. A bit over two years ago, we started pitching it. We went from Showtime to HBO to Starz to Fox 21 to Lionsgate and yesterday, we were at AMC. It's been SUCH a trip and even if we don't sell it, I have gained more experience than I thought possible. So, bless my lucky stars and thanks the Lord for the doors He had opened for us regardless of what happens. Because, in the pitch room, we received the initial 'yes' and it wasn't until later that it was passed on. But now, with diversity being such an issue that is trending, I feel it has a chance. Know what I mean?! DIVERSITY!!!
