Where does the time go?

Wow...3 months since my last blog. Yikes! I've been busy, but didn't think it was THAT long :)

To be honest, I've been a bit obsessed with Facebook (and now Twitter) and was debating dropping the blog, however, after thinking it over a bit, I realize that 140 characters is sometimes not enough.

So, here's the condensed version of what's new:

*Finally finished the re-vamped version of The BlueBelles and all of the DVD extras, which are now longer than the movie itself, but fun. And, we're very happy to announce that we  just got into our first festival...The Jersey Shore Film Festival which will be in and around Asbury Park in mid-July (screening date and time TBA).

*Wit's End continues to have some great momentum...we have now been in four festivals since January and have a screening coming up at The Hoboken Film Festival on June 1st (where we are in the pilot competition). Fingers crossed for a WIN! We also have some interest in the show from a NY based production company but I can't name names yet...to be continued :)

*Just finished a book proposal that we will be shopping around as a complement to the BlueBelles doc...we see it as a gift set. Concept is a book of tips about life, love & friendship from the Belles, along with the DVD. It seems to be getting some great feedback so far, so hope to meet with some publishers over the summer.

*Still co-producing the documentary, "Waking Up" about juvenile arthritis. We're looking for funding at the moment so it's a bit slow-going, but it has been very inspiring to meet and talk with the film's subjects. For more info and video clips about this project, join the Facebook group for Waking Up.

*We're in pre-pro on a new doc about psychics...this probably won't really get off the ground until the fall as we need to finish some other projects first, but it's something I've wanted to work on for a long time and it's going to be a good one.

*Liz and I are thrilled to have been asked to join the development team for an exciting new production company in the city....Kipany Productions. And, most exciting about this is that one of the films they are considering producing is our script, Relative Distance.

*TOP OF THE LIST though in terms of exciting news is that we were hired to do a re-write of a film with some exciting A-list connections. I can't say much about it right now except that we've finished the re-write and had a great response to it so far.  This could be a major breakthrough for us in terms of establishing ourselves as screenwriters and we are very grateful for the opportunity.

*LAST, but not least, I've been working hard on the website for my new podcast show, "The Nitty Gritty Cafe". The website is almost complete and we hope to launch in the next 30 days...it's been a bit frustrating not being able to get this out there before now, but all in good time as they say :)

Stay tuned :)  I'll write more about Nitty Gritty very soon!

Hi Sandra!

This is the first I've seen of your blog, and I love it! You and I connected through Nathalie, and with reference to you psychic doc, I have another recomendation for you: Voxx in Los Angeles. We don't know each other, but she's had an influence on my life since the mid-90s. We just connected thought the very person she "warned" me about back then.

Looking forward to BlueBelles!
