Double Edge Sword

Six weeks to go; the proverbial Double Edged Sword is there ever was one. The money scramble continues and C & D have stepped up their efforts to get Bagan ready for the delivery from Stamford to Newport. Today I was asked if I was scared. The answer was an easy one, “Down to my socks.” Yet all isn’t fear and fret; yesterday I had the great fortune to sign on Marc Rosenberg as writer for the documentary. Years back, Marc and I worked together in L.A. and while I bailed from the industry for the sake of my sanity (or lack thereof) Marc stayed and has in the business and done very well for himself; one of his last scripts was “December’s Boys” was released last year. Truly an honor to have him writing the project… Meanwhile, back in reality … I met today with Matt Dutra & Molly McGuirk of Rubic Design. Matt & Molly are mounting a full-court-press for media coverage and promotion, something I’m not entirely comfortable with but know all too well is a necessary evil. While I have trouble selling myself and my projects (see: Reason #37/D For Leaving L.A.) I’m more than aware that if this documentary is ever to get its full voice a groundswell needs to be generated. Rubic Design and Hole In The Wall have been working together for over a year now and here too I’m extremely fortunate to have such a treasure-trove of talent and expertise on the team. Within the next week the Northwest Passage Film site and Blog will go live.
