Finding New Work?

So here we are again – We survived another blizzard, the weather has gone mad, we are desperate for any sign of the spring ( the real spring not this weird global warning mess) and once again we are feeling that urge to create something new. But what and how? Last year at this time we were getting SIN on its feet and since then we have put on 2 plays, a charity event for Our Time, one for Katrina, and hit the festival circuit with What are the Odds? Diana has designed for Mike Myers, Jessica shot an episode of Love Monkey, Julie was lauded by critics and then trapped by Barry Z, Matt made his directorial debut, and Alicia has seen her first film become a festival hotcake. But now here we are all together again, in one place ready and eager to get going on the next thing. But again-what to do? Documentaries are hot this year- we saw some great ones from FUCK to The Danielson Family, ( both on the San Fran festival circuit) to penguins and Murderball- documentaries seem to be the thing to do. So do we? Oh wait- we do fiction. Ok . How about a mockumentary? Give Christopher Guest a little company in his genre? Perhaps a mockumentary on the festival circuit? On young companies in New York? Or maybe a film? Josh Ben Friedman our long time collaborator and friend is back from having his first script Barstool made into a feature- funded partly by HBO films. Do we do his next film? Perhaps a slasher flick? Get into that indie mood with a little violence- we are big into fake blood- after Compliments to Amanda.

Or maybe back to the stage? Another collaboration with up and coming artists? Another themed evening? This time maybe on War or Peace? or birdflu? Or maybe its time to take on another genre. One that is just beginning to emerge. Perhaps a series for … wait this could be good….

Gotta go. Gotta convince the team that this might be something.
