SHE LOVES ME #7 (talent scout)

 O.K. the new year and the new push is under way.  I met with my attorney yesterday and he is going to begin calling actors' agents on my behalf.  I thought having my attorney make the phone calls would indicate a certain seriousness and professionalism on my part, and then if the actors' reps or the actors themselves want to talk to me, then of course I'll take it from there.  This is a critical step in the process - a letter of intent from any of the actors on my list will definitely boost the appeal for potential investors.  I recently re-upped my streaming service on NetFlix in order to watch some of the comps on my business plan and to check out some of the actors on my list.  I watched a couple of great films with Maria Bello, Charlize Theron, and a few other actors whom I would consider to be top choices for the leading role of Kim Claypoole.  At times I let my imagination get the best of me - I imagine what it would be like to actually work with some of the fine actors I have in mind.  These are highly rated actors who have worked with some of the greatest names in the business, and sometimes I wonder what they'll think of working with me, and working in this area on a very low budget film.  Although it's a bit intimidating, it's also very exciting, and I know if given the opportunity, I'll rise to the occasion!  Another interesting development is the fact that I recently downloaded the new Final Cut Pro X editing software.  I am so impressed with this technology - it's extremely sophisticated, yet very user-friendly.  I bought it specifically for use on an upcoming job that will require multicam editing, so I've been working with it in preparation.  It accepts just about every recording format out there including RED Raw - which is the format we'll be using for SHE LOVES ME, so now I'm considering doing at least a rough cut of the edit myself - if not something closer to a finished cut - but that's all yet to be determined.  So - I've sort of temporarily handed the reins over to my attorney, and I have high hopes that he'll be calling me in the very near future with news of a letter of intent on the way!
