I Own It!
I have been hesitant to post about this since originally talking about it because I didn’t want to jinx anything…but it finally came in the mail today and it’s official: I now own the rights to the story, “A Good Head for Murder” by Charles Runyon. The signed agreement from his agent just came in the mail today!
The next step is filming it. There’s a Michigan film competition in June that I want to try to get in for. Prize is $2,000 worth of Fuji film which would help me out with the feature I’m trying to put together at the end of this year, but who knows…maybe the thing is rigged anyway since they all know each other in the U-M coalition. I’m meeting with a producer tomorrow to talk about these projects and he seems really cool–a down-to-earth Australian. I’ve got a line producer who’s going to break it down soon so hopefully, we can shoot in the next month and I can have it done by June. I’m psyched!
In case you’re wondering, the story isn’t about a blowjob gone wrong. It’s about a woman and man in a strained marriage, who are driving down a dark, desolate rural road in Mexico when they start seeing what may or may not be severed body parts lying on the road. It’s a pretty freakin’ cool story.
Stay tuned!
