Got the lead for "Bears", flick will be shot in Atlanta area :: DNO update

The main ideas for my new "no budget" (under $1K, at least that's the budget plan now :) feature "Bears" (working title, more on the flick here) came from hanging out with an old friend of mine - Brian Papin - in the DC area for a couple of years in the late 90's & early '00s. We had some very interesting conversations/arguments about the world, history, individual abilities & responsibilities, as well as a lot of whacked out funny conversations, and some of those ideas & events should work their way into the movie. Brian is slated to play the lead in the flick as of now. I am going to play a supporting role (didn't know I acted did ya? :) Brian lives in the Atlanta area & has many daily/weekly responsibilities (house! jobs! kids!), so I will have to go down to Atlanta for a couple of weeks & shoot the flick there, since it will be difficult for Brian to come down (or is it up?) to DC for an extended period of time. We are aiming for a winter/spring (Feb or March) shoot. More on "Bears" as things get done. Now, on to finishing up the script.

::

On the Date Number One front, did some merciless cutting on that flick yesterday, the film is 1/2 hour shorter now for sure & a lot slicker (more & better transitions, music, etc.). DNO is gonna have a whole new distribution life in '08!
