Honestly

When someone isn't instantly blown away by my creative mastery, my first response is a lingering "F%#$!" (Sometimes voiced, sometimes kept inside)

After that minute or so, it's quickly followed by, "well, I'll just have to win them over then, won't I?"

Thankfully, generally speaking, people seem to vibe with what I put out.
But I want 100% approval.
It's a lofty goal, but I'm willing to work.

Stolen from an IM today

[15:07] nicofopolous: so the development person looked me up on Studio System and asked how long I'd been rep'd by ICM
[15:07] nicofopolous: to which I said, "I'm repped by ICM???"
[15:07] nicofopolous: (I'm not repped by ICM, btw)

Never a dull travel day

Travelling often involves the universe messing with me.

On the way out:
I show up at 12pm to the wrong airport in Los Angeles for my 2pm flight out ($100 cab ride to Burbank airport and additional travel stress). Thankfully, the brief layover on the flight out was in Las Vegas and I actually won back $50 on a Wheel of Fortune slot machine. Those were my mom’s favorite. I call this the universe giving me the 50% off dumbass discount.

On the way back:
I got pantsed by security at the Providence Airport (immeasurable embarrassment and comedy potential). I was randomly selected for a pat down and said pat down happened before I put on my belt. The pat down was thorough enough to dislodge my pants from my hips, dropping them to the ground, revealing my relatively plain boxers to whoever was looking.

The universe has a sense of humor.

Full On Optimism

Not only have I been to set, I've seen that our director is really crafting something special (good special at that).

A couple more weeks of shooting, then editing, then... the world?

Time will tell, but I am full on optimistic.

Excitement?

News of cast sprinkles down to me.
Shooting Friday.
For the longest time, I've been saying I'll stop being cautiously optimistic and start to believe it when it starts shooting.
I guess in less than two days, I become a believer.
I'm excited.

Who Plays Who

Initially word from our producer has me very psyched about some casting directions they're heading in.

Obviously, I can't say anything until it's public knowledge, but if all works out, expect a full-on, super sloppy geekgasm.

Halloween



Mad props to Sean and Will for outfitting 22 X-Men to storm the streets of West Hollywood. They deserve more glory than they will ever receive. And a lot of costumer work...

BTW -- picture is too cool-as-f screenwriting friends as two even cooler X-Men. Fur and Feathers!
