Passed by the Dr Phil studio yesterday on the Paramount Lot. Couldn’t stop giggling because my ADHD suffering brain decided to dump every single Dr. Phil meme on me at once.

Oh man you mean the five dollar knife guy who rides around on his bike? He’s a legend around Downtown L.A.

You know when I started today I was not expecting “The main Japanese leads from The Man in the High Castle are extremely interested in reading the treatment for your 1946 Tokyo set thriller because you pitched to one of those WGA Twitter Boosts” as being the end goal but here we are.

THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD (1951)

This is part of a cover letter I wrote. I’m lucky that I’m in one of the few industries where I can make a cover letter like this work.

I was casting for my short a while back and it’s always very awkward when you get someone who really doesn’t fit the role at all. In my case I needed a woman who would be able to respond to the male lead giving her attitude with a speech tinged with venom about how easy it would be to destroy him if he falls out of line with the criminal organization which requires a certain kind of delivery and vocal flair.

One of the actresses was like 4’10 and I wish her the best of luck but there was no way with her super sweet voice I could buy her as a crime boss laying down the rules who most likely had already had many people killed.

Yo quick pro tip before I vanish again but if you are an indie director or writer just starting out it’s considered bad form to publicly shit on other directors and writers on a public account that you advertise your project on.

You are closing a bunch of doors that may be vital to your continued success.
