Hollywood Today Story on the People of ScreenPlayLab...

I'm writing a story about the people of ScreenPlayLab, that is, YOU...provided you have something interesting to say. Come to tonight's ScreenPlayLab event ready to talk about your recent personal triumphs, and you may be in the news at www.hollywoodtoday.net.

You're More Successful Than You Think...

Most of us in ScreenPlayLab are very ambitious people. We all wonder sometimes if we're making progress. The truth is, we're all doing more than we think. We're just so BUSY, it's easy to forgot the small successes on the road to bigger things. I've put together a personal "Win List" for myself and ScreenPlayLab co-founder Gabrielle Pantera so that we won't struggle at tonight's ScreenPlayLab party to remember something to talk about from our recent personal experiences. It's a good idea to keep your own Win List so you have good news to share when talking with anyone you meet.

Gabrielle Pantera's February Win List...

After two years with MGM running a star's film production office, Gabrielle announced she will switch to television. Senior execs at ABC and Fox are looking for a position for her, despite a hiring freeze at both companies. She's also following up leads at Sony, MGM, Universal, DreamWorks and Paramount. Two producers are helping. An editor on a new TV sit-com is trying to get her on the show. A top sit-com showrunner will have Gabrielle shadow when they return from hiatus in June. Gabrielle is interviewing and taking general meetings with senior execs.

My February Win List...

I had two job interviews with DreamWorks Animation this month. I'm in meetings with television and film producers. I have screenplays being read at production companies. I started writing Blessed, my screenplay about the life of Jesus Christ set in the present day. I released my Fire Bear animation screenplay to Gabrielle to breakdown for voice casting. We record at Lantana Studios in March. My interview with Oliver Twist star Timothy Spall appeared in British Weekly and Hollywood Today:

Do you have your Win List ready? I hope you do and come to the party tonight ready to talk about it.
