A LITTLE 20TH CENTURY FOX GIG

The week has started out well, and as things go, once it rains, it pours (on in this case, drips faster).

On Monday, my buddy, Darrin Denlinger (who has been mentioned in a previous blog) recommended me for re-shoot boards on a Fox film. I’ll discuss that when the gig is done. Basically, it is a few days of drawing new scenes for a children’s film that has already been shot.

Believe me, a few days will come in very handy with bills. If it is a week, it will be even better. It is good to be back on a feature. Hopefully, I will make some new connections.

The same day, I got a call from my old client, the commercial company Hungry Man for a job Tuesday (today) with a new director I haven’t worked with. Unfortunately, I had to turn the job down as I am now on the feature. My friend Steve, who has freelanced there for years, always looks out for me. Very cool guy.

Then, I get a call from a producer friend who needs spec boards ASAP for a possible project. He can’t pay unless he and the director get the gig, which is fine, as they are close friends and great guys. I might be able to fit it in, but I won’t know until I get some of the feature boards done.

Slowly, but surely. Hopefully, I will get a long-term gig very soon. Or, sell my screenplay. One has to think big.
