Sonia Flew and Media Research
Okay, so I haven't even tried to post anything here since April. Wow. I won't make any promises about posting more, 'cause I've done that in the past, but I definitely feel the urge to blog today ( Read more... ) -
And don't forget about the wolves!
(Sunday afternoon. Zach and Russ are trying to think of suitable movies to show Scarlett, who is 5 and princess-obsessed.)
ZACH: I think Stardust would be all right. It's PG-13, but I can't really think of anything I don't want her to see ( Read more... ) -
Another first draft in the bank
It's a beautiful day, and the new script - which now needs to go to the lyricist - has a first draft. Been working very hard on this one for a while now, and though I can see how much more is going to go into it and how much it's going to change, I'm just basking in the momentary, wonderful haze of new-finished-script-ness. -
Thorstein Reading and Talkback
It's been a week since the staged reading of Thorstein the Staff-Struck, and I've had a lot to process. It sort of capped off my time at the Network, like graduating, or doing a Div III.

Man, August was a busy month.
All right, well, maybe I'll actually post this one. Recently, I've been starting posts and saving them "to finish later" or some such, and, well, so far, they've just been staying saved. Let's see how this one goes ( Read more... ) -
It Just Kind of Happened
So, I didn't expect to be doing any acting this year, but as it happens, I'll be appearing in a production of Sarah Ruhl's Eurydice in two weeks. I had a very odd conversation with my bosses. It went like this ( Read more... ) -
Thower Stain
The new script, which I started last December and have been working on intermittently ever since, has a complete first draft. I'm sure I'll make a ton of disclaimers, but I really need some sleep ( Read more... ) -
Two Days Two DVDs
I must be getting lazy. But I haven't written anything about movies recently. I'll probably make this quick, all the same.
I finally saw Doubt, which, as you know, is based on a clever, involving, multiple-award-winning, and intentionally frustrating play. The movie didn't totally work for me, though I respect most of its pieces individually. John ( Read more... ) -
Pesach 2009
Ah, an evening off. When you're used to 12-15 hour days, working 9 am to 6 pm feels mercifully light. Yeah, it's been that kind of week...well, apprenticeship. Once, Cichon and I were in a meeting with the artistic and executive directors, and they asked a general question about what we'd learned so far. Cichon mentioned time management. So funny, ( Read more... )
