Some setbacks on Stations. I absolutely refuse to allow it to be changed, and the director had some cockmanie idea to set it in the past and change the locations, which would have never worked for this story and script; plus none of the conditions of the option contract have been met, and my chosen lead actress seems to have lost sight of why she moved to L.A. -- to be an actress; I knew this might happen. She is not taking classes to keep up her chops or auditioning, and instead prefers to "hang out" with the scenester crowd. She is working on her writing nd getting published, so maybe she is better off as a writer than an actress.
Speaking of which, LIV KELLGREN has also given up her biggest dream, Hollywood and acting, as she has not been cast in anything in over a year, and is attempting a THIRD buiness in feng shui, this time called Conscious environments. What a joke -- first it was Insite Out, then Feng Shui Specialities. She will never learn; my psychic Nancy said she is doomed to fail at everything, which is part of the repercussions and consequences for all the pain she has caused people and all the destruction she has created around her.
Nancy says Liv knows the Universe is punishing her yet she is still too stupid and stubborn to fix her wrongs and make amends to those she hurt. What more does she need to lose -- she lost any chance at Hollywood, she no longer acts, she will never get cast in anything significant, she is still in debt and living at her mom's house....whatver.
I may be back to square one with STATIONS. I am doing a slight revision, to see how it looks....it will eventually be made; I don't know when now.
Things are moving forward positively with MOMMY vs. THE EVIL BANK ROBBERS and FIFTY BUCKS. Working with someone to get ANTARCTICA funded, and I have a new script I started called BECAUSE.
No luck yet in finding a commercial publisher for my biography on Raymond Carver. There are two university presses interested in it, though. Someone will pick it up. I'd like to get an advance, and I mean a good one, so I can take time off to finish it right...we'll see.
McFarland has picked up my Vollmann book, now altered, as well as my monograph on the roles on women in Carver's stories. Might do a book on Wim Wenders with them.
Next two books from Borgo Press will be my short monograph on dirty realism and Bukowski and Carver, and a collection of essays called Auto/ethnograhies - Love, Sex, and Independent Filmmaking, that I am proud of.
Speaking of which, heard from peer reviewers on my auto/ethnography on Tijuana, ZONA NORTE, I have with SDSU Press. The press wants a revision. Hopefully, they will do the book. It is another I am proud of.
