Let’s see… where was I?

I finished the third draft about May 18th and a few days later received five pages of notes from a 4 ½ hour meeting between Warren and JB Rogers, the director who has now signed on. JB directed AMERICAN PIE 2 and some other movies in the genre, so he’s a great choice for POOL BOY.

Did you catch that? A producer and a director met to discuss a script that I wrote in actual pre-production terms. Try to imagine for a moment how much I hated not attending that meeting…

No, it was worse.

To be fair, no one knew to meeting would be so in-depth – JB hadn’t even officially signed on at that point. Warren only expected an hour sit-down and a few ideas. If I’d known what it would turn out to be, I’d have flown out for it.

Anyway, about a week after the notes from that meeting came my way, I turned in a fourth draft (yeah, that's four drafts in two months if you're keeping score) and wrote a synopsis for Warren to send out to agencies.

And it appears, for now, anyway, my work on POOL BOY is done. I'm catching back up with my life and my manager is waiting for me to come up with some new spec ideas to develop and market and get me some meetings out there.

In related news, I thought this was kinda cool…
