We’re finally cast. I’m very pleased with it. Each actor has opened up my characters and my words. I thought it was perfect before! I actually know one of the girls cast through another person.
They all seem nice and fun. I think we might even become friends.

Auditions are splendid. There is so much talent in this town. I can tell they really enjoy auditioning for something they can be proud of. They can really sink their teeth into the characters and they thank me for it.
Seeing all these different interpretations of my words have actually given me a few new ideas to put in the script. Won’t say what I’m thinking here. You’ll just have to see to find out.
It’s probably good I’m not solely casting this film as I would have trouble not casting all tall blonde women in every role. Yes, even the male ones.

It’s happening.
Finally my script is being turned into a film. Finally something good is going to come out of Hollywood. Finally there will be a film that examines the issues that actually matter in this world. Every film or play that I have seen seems to almost deliberately avoid saying anything. It is like there is this big conspiracy against content. That is all changing now as auditions have begun for NOTES FROM THE NEW WORLD.
Of course it’s an independent film. There is no way a studio will fund something like this. They don’t believe the public is ready. And maybe they are not, but does that mean it should not be said? If not now, when? I am John Galt from ATLAS SHRUGGED. The world wasn’t ready to hear what he had to say, but it needed to be said.
