So this has to frustrate you right? Because it frustrates me.

so that settles it...he's got to make a run at Shirley now to complete the Community hat trick.
quote:Brie is now engaged to Dave Franco, and Gillian lives with her currently boyfriend. He said he hasn't talked to either in forever, but the Jacobs intro could still be in play, potentially. He's not just going to call her up, but if we ever run into her at an event or party, he'll definitely make the intro. That said, she broke up with him, and he told me he would have married her in a heartbeat. In fact, I got the impression that he still kind of sort of has a soft spot for her, so I'm not going push it.
So....is he going to introduce you?

I'll never watch Community the same way again knowing she's a heartbreaker.
quote:
Late last night, my producing partner was checking his email and goes, "Ok, great, my friend [XX] wants to meet with us tomorrow." I immediately said, "Wait - you know [XX] too!" The person who he was referring to was my old boss at Sony a decade ago, when I first interned there. So, not only does he also somehow know my old boss, but we have meeting today set with her, and she's interested in our slate. I told him not to tell her I'm part of the company, so I can surprise her today when we show up.
quote:Different strokes for different folks but I thought the movie was awful. But she was the only reason I kept watching til the end.
Was that good?
quote:interesting, thanks.
it's like most film or music festivals. It can be as small as getting tickets or passes to one screening, or getting an entire festival pass, etc.,
But even within those passes are priority levels. So you have to be selective on how you use your time and what you want to see. You may have purchased an all-festival pass which gives you access to all screenings, but that doesn't mean you can necessarily show up 5 minutes before and get a seat. It just gives you the opportunity to see that screening.

TCTTS, how long will you be at Sundance?
quote:I fully expect you to go full TJ Miller in season two of Silicon Valley!
I appreciate it, guys. And just FYI, we won't actually be doing any official deal making while we're there. Sundance, when not focused on premiering movies, is basically like one, giant, week-and-a-half-long Hollywood networking retreat. So we're just setting up general meetings with a ton of companies and getting our name out there, based on the heat we've accumulated over the past few months. Some of it is just putting in actual face time with agents or execs we've been working with, but haven't met in person yet, and the other half is essentially saying, "Here's our slate of projects, maybe we could work together to package and sell one of these." We currently own the rights to eight projects, three of which already have partners who we've officially teamed with to set up at studios and/or with directors/actors who are interested. The other five are basically up for grabs, which we're "debuting" this week, and we'll see what interest we can drum up. One of them, in particular, I'm so stoked on, and has already perked the ears of a company that rhymes with Rad Bobot. Now we just have pitch the sh*t out of it, and I really do think we're gonna blow people away with the pitch deck we've put together.
Anyway, hoping we'll be able to officially set up / finally announce that one, and many more, in 2016!
