Hi, Mark. Thanks for the connection. I went to Toronto for the first time in May of this year and I thought it was a really cool city. Really easy to get around, the people were so friendly and helpful and a lot of cool stores. Looking forward to next time!

Hey Andy! Thanks for the connection! I was in Madea's Witless Protection, too! I was an extra in the plane scene with Eugene Levy, haha. Small world!

Andy Koehler

Good connecting with you too, Nolan! It was an incredible experience working with Doris Roberts, Denise Richards and Eugene Levy! I feel very fortunate to have worked on a Tyler Perry movie - hope to do it again sometime!!

Film as a Mirror

Hello, everyone! My name is Nolan and I'm an independent filmmaker living in Stone Mountain, GA. My latest short film is based on the Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal. Here's a short sample (please excuse the audio, I'm still gathering funds for the composer and the sound mixer's fee). Hope you like it!

Samuel Estes

Nolan, I just want to thank you for not asking composers and sound mixers to work for free! Really great that you are going to pay them, and I second what Julie just said. We have a great set of composers and sound mixers on this site, don't hesitate post on the jobs for them.

Nolan Merchan

Hi Julie! Hi Sam! Glad you liked the short. Thanks, I will keep the Jobs section on here in mind for the future. I do have a composer as well as a sound mixer already. They are both very talented and deserve to get paid. I think people work better when they are being paid.

Hi Jake, thanks for the connection!

I do have a film background (MFA at NYU) but have been lured away from film-making to write books. It's not that I dislike film -- not at all -- I watch...

Actually the best book I;ve read all year is I Am PIlgrim by Terry Hayes, who is... wait for it... a screenwriter himself. It was an amazing read. Hi, Don... yes... we're neighbors.

Nolan Merchan

Terry Hayes? hmm, haven't heard of him, either. Best book all year? Oh, I don't know. I really liked Galveston by Nic Pizzolatto, also a screenwriter! haha...well, have a good weekend!
