A blog where you can experience the ins and outs of the film biz in NYC through the eyes of someone starting from the bottom up (with a few celebrity sighting puzzles along the way).

The end of an Era (?)

Not really. The end of an era sounds more like I have been working on one job for years or even decades. No, it's been more like four months and now I am moving on to another project. Ironically, at the time this blog started last year, I was entering into a new project with a lot of the same pedigree as my current one. Low budget. Indie. Star power. Let's hope everyone realizes we don't have a lot of money and acts like it.

Oh and by the way, the show I was working on, was officially pulled altogether and can now only be watched in its entirety online at the networks website. How lame is that? The network puts the show in the worst timeslot (weekend night), it doesn't do well (no sh*t), and they pull it completely from the schedule. Ah well, at least the wrap party was fun last week. Watching "celebrities" doing karaoke never gets old. Especially when you have pictures of every single one of them.

The new film is smaller and story driven. The writer is making his directorial debut (always a scary thing) but has written a few very well recieved films in recent years. The three main people have appeared as Ripley, a surfer (where she hasn't looked good since due to lack of weight), and a young girl who cut her curly locks in 1999 and supposedly got her show cancelled because no one liked the new look. I have heard mixed reviews about the first one, nothing about the second, and great things about how sweet the third one is.

That's about it for now. Hopefully the first day tomorrow goes smoothly. I promise to try and write more in the next 30 days.
