Broken Legs

Monday morning...

Picking up new headshot prints today. I'm planning a new mailing to see if I can find myself some fresh representation. After posting a ton of new pics and hitting up people for opinions, I picked one and had 50 printed up. It's the same pic I have posted right now on my Facebook page. I'll save all the character shots for email submissions and use more of a traditional shot for mailings and hard copy use.

Got a call from Central Casting on Friday. Looks like I'll be doing a day of background on "Desperate Housewives" next week.

I also met with more directors on Friday. The idea is to open up the collaborative process and get fresh talent to direct upcoming episodes of CATCH. I'll keep wiritng and producing...but I think letting different directors make their personal mark on the project will help create buzz for the series... also, since I'm going to be appearing in upcoming episodes...I'd like to be able to focus on my character and not be distracted by whats going on on set. All this collabortion means that I will have to start churning out epsiodes... so I need to start writng...

also entertaining the idea of enlisting more writers to work on the series....see how that goes... should be an interesting cooperative experiment..

SO...after a small screening last night.... I'm getting ready to post 3 new projects on youtube and the Indie City website...

I'll be posting the latest episode of CATCH. Episode 2... "The Playing Field," Indie City's 48 HRFP film (chosen as one of the best of LA 2008)... and a 3 minute trailer for the comedy series that I started shooting last Summer in New York. The same comedy series that I've been asking around to try and come up with a good name. After sending and receiving a bunch of text messages and emails, throwing around potential titles... I narrowed it down to two names: "And ...Scene" and "Breaking Legs."

"And...Scene" was sort of a temporary working title I was using last year...one of 2 or 3 working titles actually.... I was calling the project a few different names...depending on who I was talking to. "And...Scene" is cute...doesn't quite roll off the tongue... I'm just not in love with name.

"Breaking Legs" I really like. I think it's great for a title...but its actually being used... "Breaking Legs" is the title of a very popular Mafia-based showbiz comedy that ran here in NYC for a long time and is now played in every summer playhouse in America.

The other day I was googling "Breaking Legs" to see what I came up with and I came across this youtube clip titled, of course, "Breaking Legs." And guess what this lovely little film clip featured... a montage of footage of people actually breaking legs... disgusting.... I couldnt look away....it was awful...real clips of people in different sports...like a professional wrestler jumping down on his opponent from the ropes and wheh he lands, his legs snaps and basically just dangles from his body...NASTY....anyway.

so.... for now..."AND...scene" it is.... for now
