Hi, I'm so bad at checking in here and taking advantage of the IY weekends, so I wanted to make sure I did this weekend. Just back from a fun weekend in LA where our producing team had pre-prod meetings for Debra De Liso's Small Town feature project. Dear friend Brooks Wachtel, magician, writer and host extraordinaire, brought us together for a wonderful lunch at his domain, The Magic Castle. We also had a great actor's table read of the script on Saturday. All in all a satisfying, productive and entertaining weekend...except the part where the tire blew on my rental car around Palm Springs...

Glad to have you here Susanne. What is the film about? if you download the Stage 32 app, it makes it super easy to remain more connected to the community.

That all sounds exciting! Except for the blown tire. Welcome!
It's great to see you at IYW, Suzanne Paschall. Sorry to hear about the blown tire. Glad you're ok.

Thanks everyone! It was scary and I'm very grateful to still be here. :) Amanda Toney Small Town is a heartful, inspirational indie comedy by @debradeliso set in a 1968 southwest desert town. Here's the link to our new page! https://smalltown-movie.com.

Suzanne Paschall how has it been working with a period piece? It's something I've considered down the road and I'd love to know more about your experience.

Well, I'm also a history author, so it's kind of my jam - though I'm working in the marketing/comms area of this production. I've got a few period pieces of my own that I'm working on - one, a TV pilot based on a true story from a book I finished a few years ago. I'm down to chat any time about history projects and share experiences!

Thanks, Maurice Vaughan...we're actually making a new one soon - I'm taking the sizzle reel for a TV series course here for our pilot project Kindred Spirits too...I'm excited to learn how to make a sizzle reel for a pilot that nothing has been shot for! LOL

That's amazing that you were in The Magic Castle. I also write history dramas.

You're welcome, Suzanne Paschall. That's great that you've learn how to make a sizzle reel that nothing has been shot for. I learned the same thing. I made a sizzle reel for a game show with stock footage. I'm thinking about making sizzle reels for my feature scripts. Looking forward to seeing your new sizzle reel.

Maurice Vaughan - I haven't learned yet - that's why I'm taking the S32 webinar on it! :) I'll let you see whatever I come up with!

Asmaa Jamil - That's great! We should touch base sometime! I'd love to share experiences with you and maybe pick your brains!
Oh ok, Suzanne Paschall. I misread your comment. Hope you find the webinar helpful. Keep us updated on the reel and film. Thanks.
