This time it’s Michigan.

The Basics:
Title: Home Run Derby.
logline: Two former professional baseball playing brothers take out their sibling rivalry through coaching little league teams. a definite Bad News Bears-y kind of movie.
Director: Oz Scott. Yup, the guy who directed Bustin Loose. Awesome.
pre-pro: June 14
prod: Aug 2
back home: Sept. 25

This was an interesting experience in film coming together in a way I’ve never been a part of before. A private equity financier came to us with the idea to do a baseball movie. So, we wrangled writers, brainstormed ideas, and had the script written from scratch with the movie already being financed. No director or actor contingencies. In independent film, it’s normally the other way around. You find a script you like, do some development with the writer. Chase down a director. Go through the excruciating process of attaching actors who mean something to financiers. THEN the money shows up.

So, once again friends, join me on the journey that is producing a film outside the studio system in a city I don’t know. I can’t wait!

I’ve been blogging for the past four years under a name that few people know is me. In the past couple of months, I’ve had a bit of a desire to expand and connect my actual name and identity to some of my experiences and thoughts. 

 

So, now I’m coming up on leaving for an adventure for the next couple of months. What better time to launch this site? 

 

So check back often as I let you in on the absurd details that make up my life. And let’s see what the next couple months bring.
