Finding Kylie - The Script
After Finding Kylie was
published, a film producer from London reached out to me asking to be a part of
the script, insisting that it would be perfect for the screen. He
also warned it was a TON of hard work invested with a LONG turn around as the
film industry can take years.
I
thought, 'Okay a couple years. I can handle that.' However, here we are
about eight years later and a major door finally opened. For the
last four years, we've been trying to get a hard read set up. For
those of you who have no idea what a hard read is, I'll explain.
It's
basically doing a dry run or a read with real actors, to make sure it is what
we think it is 'off the paper'. We've written the script, and in our heads (in
2D) it's perfect - but when acted out or read aloud in 3D - it may not sync.
This
just helps me and John, who is the film producer and my writing
partner for the script, see it in person to finesse it so that we can hit the
film market with a finished product. It also gives us a video or visual to show
bits of it to investors.
So,
today I just got really good news, that makes me feel a little giddy ...
Our hard
read, for Finding Kylie, is scheduled with a high profile drama department, and
they're fitting our project in their tight schedule next year. This is a team
that has turned down some major names in the film industry in years past because they weren't able to accommodate them in their schedule. However, they
were impressed with us enough to fit us in.
This week, I'll have a date set for a week's length dress rehearsal and final night for the read.
Stay tuned. I'll
have more updates as we progress.
