Josiah: Hi. Okay, there are just too many coincidences here for me to ignore. First, my youngest son is named Josiah. Second, I live in Huntington Beach. Third, I have a script called "The Life and Times of Lesbian Alien Opera Singers" that is set in Huntington Beach. Fourth... well... you're a producer.... in HB! The script actually just came back to me after failed negotiations with a Canadian company that had optioned the script a few years ago and then picked it up again to shoot in Nova Scotia. I'm pasting a short resume below. If you're in a position to EP a feature, let me know and I'll send you a logline and synopsis. Thanks Josiah!
