Is it time for Pre-Production yet?

So...

we've been busy. Interviewing producers. Getting the website, facebook and twitter infastructure up and running for "Straight On Till Morning". Working...nice to have some of that finally after a really slow spring. We've got lots of ideas of what to do next, and just need to put in all the work and do all the stuff it takes to get it done.

I had a big idea for something to write right now and I seem to have forgotten it.

Anyway...watched "Lost Boys" in honor of Corey Haim's death last week. So weird to think he's only a few years older than me, but had done so much in entertainment and then was sort of forgotten. I had a friend who was cast in the lead in a film opposite him last fall, and then they ended up recasting HIM because he wasn't a big enough draw anymore. It's sad really to think that all someone's hard work and all we do can become irrelevant to the people doing stuff in the future. That they'll look back and remember it fondly. And eventually people will hardly remember or even know who we were. After all, how many movie stars from the 30's can you list off? And how many of them have you actually seen in a film? I know I can't do very many.

Guess that's why it's always important to have family and friends and loved ones so close. To really inspire a son or daughter or niece or nephew or something. That the human connection matters most since all of our work will crumble to dust. Then again so will people...

hmmm....this all seems kinda depressing, but I'm actually just thinking about it. Not to be sad about it, but just to think about how BIG the world is, and how tiny what we do in it is. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. Not at all.
