Fan Contribution

Ever been a fan of something like a franchise that you would like to contribute to it? Like for example I myself have been a fan of Disney, The Simpsons, and the Muppets when I was a kid and would like to contribute to them.

Anyone else?

Impossible Dream

Sometimes an impossible dream is the greatest one. That is why I dream of working with Disney, I really do have original ideas for their company, and some ideas for revivals, even business ideas to expand the outreach of their company.

So, if there are any agents or producers who have a connection t...

Jill Sobule on Bevis & Butthead

33 years ago, there was a little show called Beavis and Butthead that debuted on MTV. The show grew to wild popularity and the music videos plus their commentary had a major impact in the 90s music scene. It was a big deal to be featured on BnB.

Rules damn rules, and then conventions

I have just taken my initial steps into the Substack Universe. At the moment I have one follower, Elliot Grove of the Raindance film festival in London. Yes indeed, it could be worse.

I came across this interview with Rick Rubin and loved what he was saying about rules and conventions.

My takeaway:

The wildest studio note ever: "Too much psychological dread"

Hey everyone! I was digging into the history of the Exorcist prequel recently and came across what has to be the most baffling studio note of all time. Executives actually watched director Paul Schrader’s finished cut and complained that it had "too much psychological dread."

Instead of just tweaking...

Do It All

A close up/screenshot of audio tracks. This was from a recording/mixing session I was working on.

If you could

If you could meet with any director or producer or studio executive to share an idea with, who would it be? For me it would be a Disney executive, Matt Groening, Tim Federle, and Ryan Murphy.
