It's all good
I'm so sick of the Red Sox... I am officially a temporary Los Angeles Dodgers fan... went down to City Hall yesterday and got my permit... For the next few weeks...I'm all about Dodger Blue...except on Sundays...then I'm all about BIG BLUE.... the GEEE MEN...
But as far as baseball is concerned... Go Dodgers...Go Joe Torre...and I never thought I'd EVER say this:
Go MANNY BEING MANNY!!
I've been rehearsing with some of the cast and the producers of THE AFTER-LYFES. We are gearing up to shoot the weekend of the 18-19. They actually asked me to keep my schedule loose for that Thursday thru Tuesday...
No problem. This character is pretty similar to myself...not a stretch by any means...which is why I feel pretty well connected .
I'm back to trying to get CATCH 7 shot this weekend. I went out yesterday looking for a restaurant/diner location for a scene I wrote that involves the characters EDBO and SQUIB. EDBO and SQUIB are two crime family henchmen...or lackeys...who are trailing one of the main characters... at this point just to keep an eye on him.
I went in to Roccos Pizza on Vermont. Its a little, New York style pizzeria...not far from my house. I've noticed that thus place is totally empty on Sundays...probably bescause its across the street from LA CITY COLLEGE... aint no college kids around to eat pizza on a Sunday... aint no college kids anywhere near that campus on a Sunday. Anway, the guy at the counter gave me an email address and sent them an email:
My name is James Huffman. I'm producing a new web series titled CATCH.
I stopped in at the Vermont location this morning and I asked them if they ever allowed student or no budget filmmakers to shoot there...he said you "might" be open to discussing it...and gave me your email.
I am looking for very casual diner/restaurant to shoot a 2 page scene this coming Sunday, October 12th and the Roccos on Vermont would be ideal. I can arrange my shooting schedule so that we would be in the restaurant for no more than 3 hours and we could get it all done during your slowest hours, so as not to interfere with business.
I could also buy lunch for the crew before or after we shoot. It would be a small crew, 2 actors and maybe 4-5 crew members. AND...if it helps...we could use an establishing shot of Roccos to help promote the restaurant and we could include links or positive write ups in all our blogs.
So...yeah... I'm hoping we could work something out.
ROCCO repsonded later that evening.... "NO DICE VANILLA ICE"
Thank you for your interest, unfortunately right now we can not accomodate filming in any of our locations.
Oh well... I still have a few location in mind...I will hit them up today.
I went over to meet with Paul, our Indie City chief editor, and looked at a rough cut of CATCH 3. I loved 75% of it...hated 25% of it... its a long story...but the all the original footage we shot for this episode looks great...all the inserts or "pick-up" footage we got later...looks like shit... so its going to be a challenge...but I asked Paul to get creative... do what he can to disguise the bad footage.... I guess we'll see...should have a another cut ready by the start of next week...then I will have a sound design guy work on it... then HOPEFULLY... CATCH 3 will ready for release Oct 17-ish.
Oh yes...one more thing....
I git fired by HINT on Sunday night... which is more of an inconvenience than a traumatic event... they hired a new sales manager a few weeks ago and he and I were just NOT seeing eye to eye... so he inevitably got me canned... dick... it's fine, really. I was kind of secretly wishing I would get the opportunity to move on...so I guess I got what I wanted..
Anyway... I'm on the move...taking meetings...working shit out... looking for work...reaching out to promo companies... probably do alot more background work....and I'm pushing these CATCH episodes thru the post process... Oh and I'm selling my body for cash... as well as all my roommates stuff... Its all good...

Need a Web expert & PR
- We need a Web person to do the website.
- We need a PR person to get the word out about us with press releases, promotions, etc. Publicity. We need it.
Any leads?
Start putting the word out there, ask around, gather resources, see what you can find and bring it to the next meeting.
MEETINGS: We need to focus our energy on pre-production/production of CATCH, THE NOBODIES, new scripts to be pitched, and any sketches that are ready for production.
Development is for Development meetings not for General meetings. Have scripts ready by the time we have our regular/general meetings so we can read, gather cast & crew, lock down locations, and review shot lists. CATCH - new episodes need to be knocked out by July/August.
Let's get going! No time to waste! :)
