July 7, 2023: Farewell schnitzel, a possible change of scenery, and sundry points of interest!

Behold, the Wooden Platter!

One final hurrah as my favorite schnitzel place, Country Style Hungarian, closes its doors after 62 years.  A bittersweet – but utterly delicious – final meal that has hosted the likes of schnitzel-appreciating celebrities like Carl Binder, Alexander Ruemelin, and Ivon Bartok.

If the email opens with a specific compliment about the pilot you submitted (ie "I love the world you created" or "so-and-so is a terrific character"), they're passing.

On the bright side, they are responding to a pilot that was optioned two days after I sent it out, a cozy mystery picked up by a very enthusiastic producer of similar fare.  This comes on the heels of some conversations about a few other projects in addition to ongoing strategic planning of that high concept low budget horror comedy.  As crazy as it sounds, if one of these goes, 2024 may find me shooting in either:

Bulgaria

England

Ireland

Portugal

I look forward to any and all changes of scenery.

Speaking of cozy mysteries…
