Google Me This ...

We started a new title-specific web page for our comedy MegaBall$  (www.MegaBallsMovie.com). After working on web pages I've learned to Google the page to see how it falls, and I was very happy to see that our page falls in the top position. So, as I am one to keep promoting our film and building interest in it, I Tweeted the Google response. And about an hour later was totally surprised when Matthew Broderick reTweeted our post.

I've worked with Matthew as his stand-in and double on two films: Family Business and The Freshman.  We had a great time in both and he really treated me well, as a friend not just his 2nd teamer. It was due to his encouragement, and that of Dustin Hoffman as well, that got me to continue screenwriting. So to Matt, and Dustin, thanks!

By the way, Joyce Randolph (Trixie on The Honeymooners) tells me she saw Matthew's new Broadway show, Nice Work If You Can Get It, last night. She says Matthew, the cast and the show are great, that this will be a hit. I Tweeted that yesterday to Matthew...perhaps that's why he reTweeted today.

Internet-Radio Interview

I don't know why anyone would listen to what I have to say...I'm flattered that Beth Rosen would devote an entire show to listen to me saying it, whatever I said ...Tune in online Monday Morning at 10:00 a.m. EST for her RhinoOnTheAir Spotlight Radio: The Business of Show Biz with Beth (and me). I'll talk about film, some of the things I'm involved in, and of course, MegaBall$. After the airing, I'll load up an MP3 of the interview and create a link to it.
I'm also working on a second short video...to reveal the story-behind-the-story of MegaBall$.
UPDATE: the station aired the show later than scheduled. For those who would like to listen, you may do so  on SoundCloud.com by CLICKING HERE
UPDATE 2: Rhino On Air apologized for the scheduling mishap. They liked the interview and have invited me to do another, this time 'live'....I'll post when we have a day/time set.

Some Minor Attention

Later today I'll be interviewed by friend Beth Rosen as the subject of her Internet radio-show "Spotlight," which will air sometime April 16th on www.RhinoOnAir.com - we'll record via Skype then Beth will edit it later for her broadcast. Beth is, among other things, a screenwriter and filmmaker. We'll talk about Oroloro and MegaBall$ as well as other activities we're involved in, such as The Lambs, The Episcopal Actors Guild, the SAG-AFTRA merger and more.

Many thanks to Erin Wahl for her generous effort using a fine-toothed comb to edit the screenplay for MegaBall$ and the project overview we use to interest investors.
