I LOVE Zoe Lister-Jones. Super pumped that she has another project. I also really enjoy Hannah Simone. I will definitely be seeing this movie.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I have no idea what that means, but I'm certainly interested. I love Amy Schumer (especially her work on TV). This could be really fun or a total disaster.

I'm just messin' with ya. But didn't the whole Ghostbusters 2016 thread revolve around (at least for a while) your stating that it was an important movie?

Have you ever done any camera work before? Or would you connect with a knowledgable DP? I am working on my first screenplay, and just finished Syd Field's book last night. But it's that stuff in particular -- lenses, lighting, film stock/digital retouching -- that is so far beyond my knowledge base. I get the screenplay format, I get the acting, I get the audio and syncing to visual, and I even get a lot of the legalities around releasing a film. But camera are baffling to me. I hope someday to afford a Red or a steadicam and just figure it out as I go along. It's sort of my retirement plan/dream.

I'm working with a DP, yeah. And I'm starting out with a "silent film" so I don't have to deal with all the audio stuff this time around. It's a short film (under 5 minutes) that I wrote and I have someone who will score the piece.

Man, I'd love to take some filmmaking courses within the next few years.
