A Fitting Locale

Posted on: October 24th, 2011 by wmapother No Comments

When I was a student at Notre Dame — so long ago that there was not yet a need for “Return to Glory” — the campus sometimes felt, with a 3-1 ratio of guys to girls, as otherwordly…and not in a good way.

 

So, even if the ratio has evened out a lot, I suppose it’s appropriate that I’ll be back on campus on Nov. 4 for a screening and Q&A of Another Earth, given that our football fortunes now feel, well, you get the point.  Tickets for the journey are now available.

SAGIndie Post

For indie filmmakers seeking help on how to use SAG actors in their productions, SAGIndie is a godsend.  They hit the film festivals, conventions and trade shows to spread the word that running your production through the Guild is easy, fair and protective.  They also have an extensive FAQ.  I wrote a guest post for the site, and it’s now up.  The same piece is also  available on my Huffington Post blog.

Projects Update

With these updates I hope you’ll all be able to finalize your autumn schedules…

My Mentalist episode airs on Nov 2.

On Dec 2, A Warrior’s Heart, the indie I made a good while back with Twilight‘s  Ashley Greene & Kellan Lutz, will have a limited (10-city) theatrical release and come out on VOD.  More details as I get them.

In January, Lifetime will air The Drew Peterson Story, starring Rob Lowe in a scary moustache.

Here’s to a lovely autumn.
