Editing...And Then Some

We've really been focusing on the second and third edits of this screenplay. It's a tough project to manage with all the other works we got going now (Welcome to Gentle Waters, PhD, Through the Mirror), but we're feeling good. By early next year we'll start dropping our baby into some competitions. Until then...Happy Holidaze!

While we wait for the next step, here's a blast from the year, 1994. George Foreman wins the Heavyweight Title at 45 years old.

First Post Action

We are in the middle stages of developing a screenplay (tentatively titled 1994 - In Bloom) about a group of college kids on summer vacation in a small Midwestern town in the year 1994. Beside the story of the characters, music was a huge part of that year across America. We plan to drop in related posts on the culture of the time. (and how it's reappearing today) So look for this site to be some cultural looks at '94, some screenwriting commentary and some musical insight.
