It's great to check in on the S32 fam. I'm Ebrahim, aka @obisaid. I am an ex-tech guy who loves my new career path in media and entertainment: researcher, playbook creator, and (really) new producer/director/investor. Most recent creative effort - a 1:48s funding pitch ad!
I'm your all-around "let's get it done" dude "playing a dude disguised as another dude." Always love talking action, adventure, 80s/90s stuff.
Chat soon! xoxoxo

Great to meet you, Ebrahim Said! Ooo, I can see the appeal - Beverly Hills Cop and Lethal Weapon are some of my favorite films, plus lots of great '90s films - that list is WAY too long LOL Let's just say I bought myself a Trinity-esque leather trenchcoat for my high school graduation gift in honor of The Matrix that released the same year.
What are you working on at present?

Nick Phillips, agreed, a period of history frozen in time. Gladly no regrettable sequels - loved the extensions to the Predator franchise though! Prey!
Geoff Hall, funding pitch was fun, condensing more than 4 years worth of work into 1:48s. Hope it sees its way onto a partner's desk. Fingers crossed.

Sam Rivera , Karen "Kay" Ross , we have really been working on getting to a number of 1-minute scene scripts. Working on a few scene combinations for the shorts in the pipeline. Working on character connection, depth and exploration as the actors get through the 1 minute/1 pager.
Karen "Kay" Ross, did you get the sunglasses along with the trench. Killer look :):):)

Maurice Vaughan the usual suspects; BTTF, Indy, The NeverEnding Story, and of course, The Usual Suspects LOL.
Excellent movies, Ebrahim Said. The twist in "The Usual Suspects" is one of the best twists in movie history!

Dude, Love 90's stuff; I was in Nashville, TN, finishing my Music perf. undergrad. Then I worked like many other jobs. I did work at BMI for a few months ! I even saw those real checks and part of process in IT at EOM. :~). Now it's all Elec. processing. I saw a AIMP meeting where the Publishers now use PDF files for the Cue sheets ! Yea !! Use to deliver all the paper copies to a lady. :~). 90's stuff / music ! Congrats with the 1:48 pitch. Always start with something nice in 1st paragraph. ... you prob. know this. :~).

@Ebrahim Welcome & hope you find your tribe right here. "Playbook Creator" sounds fascinating, is this an interactive audio book or something else?
