Apperent Proof Jesus Died: Film Will Reveal

I'm afraid you're right.

I think they are on the right track and delivered enough awareness to motivate the right people. This won't go away unless more discoveries point the other way.

Film & television, yes. And Ark is referencing the CBC, the national channel everyone gets with or without cable.

That's an interesting line of work. Any storys of stars you rubbed shoulders with? What do you do?

Started as a screenwriter, and still do some scripting though now I'm usually the director or executive producer. Last summer I acted in a war film as a favour to the producer, but I prefer being behind the camera. I've the usual war stories of brushes with celebrities, including a few surreal encounters with Vince Vaugn (at a bar) and Christina Ricci (at a house party) but for the most part they're people like anyone else - just with a lot more disposable income.

I can write, it seems, when I am experiencing some sort of hardship and loneliness. Not in a discipline fashion, mind ya. Just enough to move someone. Any other time, I'm not interested. Although my wife insist I write to her like I use to when I was courting her. But what's the point, right? "I already got ya, sucka!"

But to write for the arts, like what you did or are doing, is impressive. And I suppose having an eye for directing itself has to require some sort of imagination, does it not? Cool stuff!

I hear that as a Producer, you have to put up some sort of capital in hopes of a nice royalty. Or do you direct where other people's money go? Either way, it's all good.

I rarely produce American productions, where it's more common for the executive producer to raise most of the financing. In those cases I'm a director, writer, or both. In the Canadian system where up to 70% of the funding can come from government sources, I've been brought in as producer on projects already underway - the production manager and accountants look after the money coming in, the executive producer watch how its spent, and the producer keeps the writer, director, etc. on task.

For example, in November I was brought in on a documentary about the 2006 World Cup in Germany. 260 hours of footage shot, but they were still having trouble finding the 'story'. I watched some of the footage, wrote a treatment centered around 3 of the key individuals on the Canadian team, and turned it over to the writers. I became Story Editor and Associate Producer, making sure they wrote a script based on my treatment and writing the deals which were then turned over to Jan, the distributor, who also distributed the Romeo Dallaire doc Shake hands With The Devil.

But this has little to do with the thread. PM me sometime and I'll tell you more about it.

will do
thx

Nope. That would have been when I was Evander Holyfield's guest in Vegas - after he agreed to play himself in a film I wrote - and watched his fight against Lennox Lewis from 20 ft. away from the ring, next to Matt Perry and Bruce Willis who'd come fresh from filming The Whole Nine yards.

Unfortunately the film went into turnaround when the Canadian government decided it didn't have enough CanCon points, but I still have the experience to remember.
