June 12, 2023: A Productive Day!
Yozo!
Productive day today. Finished a first pass on the third issue of my horror comic. Then, got some notes back on my mystery pilot and implemented them. Rebecca, check your inbox!
Hey, look at what arrived in the mail yesterday!
Since starting work on that mystery script, I’ve been on a Columbo tear, discovering a newfound appreciation for the show and its star.
It’ll go up on the shelf with some of my other favorite t.v. show companions. Not pictured: The Simpsons, The X-Files, The Twilight Zone, and, of course, Stargate!
Settle a debate for Akemi. How many colors in a rainbow?
Akemi’s Japan News Update: “They were going to have a bikini contest at a pool in Nagoya but communist ladies complained so cancelled.”
Yatta! You’re up to date!

Great thread that reaffirms my long-held belief that the streaming business model doesn’t make sense:
I still believe the reason they are so desperate to break the WGA is because the conditions for proper Residual payments to be made as well as budgets and staffing are contingent on data/numbers they don't want getting out for ~some~ reason https://t.co/OJmljpadzL

June 8, 2023: News of Note!
Check out this excellent article that breaks down the current dire state of television:
“It’s hard to develop hit sitcoms when the people selling, pitching, buying, and programming them don’t seem to like them. They don’t seem to like what the audience likes,” says the top agent."https://t.co/m07HTKI8Xu

A couple of great quotes:
“The reason nobody really wants to open the books on this is because if Wall Street got a look, they’d have a collective stroke.”

June 6, 2023: Projects Galore!
Business(ish) lunch meeting today to discuss the high concept low-budget horror feature. In attendance – line producer Robbie David, production manager Cathy Lang, director John Stead, Co-Executive Producer Ivon Bartok, star and research assistant Akemi Aota, and mystery backer. We discussed budget, schedule, tax credits, crew, distributors, directors of photography, locations, post-production, Bulgaria, passive-aggressive emails, and smoked meat. Next steps – the Bulgarian budget, a discussion about tax incentives, setting meetings with distributors, and a completion of the business plan. On track to meet my end-of-June target for investors. Hopefully we lock it up quickly and can start prepping late summer.
Yes. Absolutely. Let's talk. I can't think of anything I'd rather do than listen to the problems of a complete stranger, especially if they involve relationship issues. Clearing my Friday night! pic.twitter.com/AnkmFASbOD

Oh, that reminds me. I completed the first draft of my new pilot (after doing a couple of passes to implement Ivon’s notes), and have sent it off to my second reader. One more pass to incorporate THEIR notes, and then it’s off to my agent. And then from there…who knows what the future holds?
Next, I switch off to the third issue of my horror comic. The scripts for the first two issues were well-received and I’m told character designs are forthcoming.
