Overheard in Park Slope

guy: I hate it when people put their trash in my trash can!

girl: Yeah, that's really annoying. What are you going to do?

guy: The punishment is, if you put your trash in my can, you have to eat what you threw away.

I'm a film producer!

How did this happen, people keep asking me...

Well, Burning Man definitely got my creative juices flowing, and I had been sitting on a couple of script ideas, so when I got back, I just sat down to start writing, and - boom - I had a screenplay for an adorable short.

I wasn't sure what to do about it. I'm not a director, nor do I have the remotest understanding of cameras. I started putting out the feelers for a director and cameraman, and after a few almosts, I found an AMAZING director, Jeremy Frindel, and his favorite cameraman, Jai Mitchell. The three of us are really on the same wavelength, so shooting has been a fantastic experience. We still have three of the most important scenes of the film to do, so I'll be in New York for another 3-5 weeks. (I found another sublet in Park Slope for that time.)

I swear people, I *tried* to move to LA!

What's the film about, you ask?

It's the story of a girl who is perfectionist, loves to do everything herself and lives to dress up in costume. Sound familiar? And, yeah, she has trouble meeting the right guy... but then one turns up where she least expects and they hit it off!

I will update you when new developments arise. For now, we are shooting, editing and doing lots of production tasks I didn't know existed!
