But I found myself wondering:

In a space where so many are reaching out… who’s really there to receive?

I don’t as...

Introducing myself again

Hello Everyone,

I just returned from a fantastic trip to Florida, and I feel refreshed.

Before I left Trinidad, I submitted my sci-fi screenplay to the Vice President of Film at New Regency.

I was promised a reply in three weeks, so I expect it any time now.

Please wish me luck.

Brenda Mohammed

Kaye Sereneveil

Hi Brenda Mohammed

That sounds amazing! Welcome back! Submitting your sci-fi script to New Regency is a huge step. Fingers crossed for you! Wishing you the very best, hope the response brings great news.

Brenda Mohammed

Thank you, but Colin Greten never showed for the scheduled meeting, and to date no other time has been finalised to discuss my screenplay..

Sheri Barbera

GOOD LUCK Brenda Mohammed !! Exciting!

Willem Elzenga

I don't think this is a very good sign of what you can expect from mr. Greten businesswise.

Brenda Mohammed
