REMINDER! Mixer Tonight!

Those who already RSVPed were sent this reminder message....

Hi. Got your RSVP for tonight's ScreenPlayLab mixer event at Sharky's. We're going to have a great time! Expect it to be packed. We have over 160 RSVPs. We'll be in The Sharky's backroom, 435 N. Beverly Dr. (South of Little Santa Monica), Beverly Hills. Monday, Jan. 26th, 2008, 6:30pm to 9:30pm.

Parking is available underground across the street by Crate & Barrel. $3 after 6pm.

Order food in the front and carry it to the back. Margaritas are available only in the backroom.

Please stop by to say hi to me. Don't be shy just because I'm talking with someone else. Step right up. If you need help being introduced, let me know.

Gabrielle and I throw these events to enable artists to forward their careers. It may look like a party, may feel like a party, but don't forget it's also an informal interview for a future job. An industry mixer is an opportunity to convince people they want to work with you someday.

Everyone prefers to work with winners. Please present yourself honestly and passionately as someone fun and successful. Be warm and outgoing. Come to the event ready to talk about your recent personal triumphs. If you have trouble with that, ask me for help.

Complaining is not permitted at these events. If it happens that you encounter anyone behaving inappropriately, please excuse yourself and let me know right away.

Thank you!

Free Beverly Hills Mixer Jan 26th

Welcome to 2009! I hope you had a fantastic holiday season and feel eager to get back to work.

My New Year's resolution is to produce four feature films in 2009. I'm also producing a talk show hosted by Gabrielle Pantera. And, I'm working on films and shows for ScreenPlayLab members. I'm editing with Final Cut Pro and an advanced 3D editing system called Piranha. DreamWorks Animation, where I had an office, has announced that all it's future films will be produced in 3D.

My New Year's resolution for ScreenPlayLab is to make interviews with executives, producers, directors and actors available online. Many members who can't make it to our events have asked for this, and it's more Green. Just last week, I talked with the heads of several television networks in taped one-on-one interviews. I'm shooting more footage than I can edit without help. Enthusiastic volunteers willing to help with editing at my location in Beverly Hills may email me.

All this additional production and editing is going to curtail my live events producing. Although ScreenPlayLab will continue to host mixers and screenings, I'm not planning any speaker events or live shows for 2009. Special thanks to our friends at Raleigh Studios for being there for us and to the many other theaters that helped us present free live events with Hollywood VIPs for the last three years.
