Hollywood is a creation. A not too brilliant creation at that, in spite of the assumptions contrary to this statement. If people feel this to be a remark biting the hand that feeds, then look around at who actually gives the food and second where it actually emanates from . This whole procrastinated yes/no dichotomy is merely a front line tool of powerless action, drawn to look like total power. Psychological CGI at its best. When a behemoth engrossed on its own greed and over substantial diet sits astride an industry, usurped from European roots of pure art and burps its engorged power out at so many, who are drawn to it, like moths to a flame, disappointment and disaster are not far behind. That it also happens to be a masterful machine of mood and mind bending has allowed it to have been subsumed by powers whose ambitions are anything but for the love of art. The agenda is the love of manipulation, control and total power. Yet even in this hubris of ego achievement they are mere lackeys to greater masters. This however does not diminish their power to 'play' with the innumerable souls who drift in and out decade after decade hoping for that first great foot on the upward ladder of fame and success. Rejection is so often portrayed as a growth thing, a hardening process towards the completed project/person. Which viewed through that lens can be seen as healthy. In Hollywood, as you rightly portray, that is not the case. A denial of yes, to the mindset of the 'hopeful candidate' can continue the illusion of caring and considered interest. Yet procrastination dressed in whatever cloth is not only useless in the pursuit of progress but also specious when used consciously as a manipulating tool. That is how Hollywood uses its No, no matter how they endeavour to dress it in finely scripted words of insouciant gratuitous gratitude or acknowledgment.

Hi I recently finished a a new script that I been working on, it a comedy; action, thriller about Jesus Christ being brought back to life in a modern day Australian society . 4 Aussie teenagers go to Israel, get caught up in a massive terrorist attack, and get trapped in under ground mines, it is there they discover the dead body of Jesus Christ,perfectly preserved . Through a series of comical events, they accidently smuggle Jesus's body in a suit case back to Australia , where a professor uses stem cells ,and machine to reanimate Jesus and brings him back to life. The inspiration behind this, I asked my self, what would meeting Jesus really be like? And I found when you put Jesus in a modern society, the humour never stops. And if judgment day was said to be tomorrow, what do you really expect once it was really happening? Would this man live up to you expectations ? For the last 2000 years people have shouted this mans name out, and sacrafieced every thing for this man named Jesus. But what if he walked in to your home in the flesh and blood now, What would you say? What would you do? I had a lot of fun writing this script, and in a way it has been a religious experience for me, even tho I did not believe in the Jesus when I first started writing this, it has been a mystical journey for me. I just wish I could have meet Jesus when he was alive. I find him the most fascinating character in history.

Good to get to know you Delaney

I am the creator and writer of a web series entitled Simply Me. Putting the finishing touches of 2 scripts and working on a third. Need help in finding a way to finance my show. Somebody told me I need to make the show first then put it on kickstarter. But how can I make it without money??

It is good to join such creative pastures and hang out with top talent, burgeoning talent and talent in process! Am excited my next book, although a few chapters away from the final period is creating good interest in TV and film circles. So to chew the cud with this creative cooperative will only help us all in our various endeavours. Looking forward to sharing with you all (or at least some!)
