Creeky stairs are scary

It was pretty warm in the city today as I went to my interview at First Line entertainment. The office was pretty crammed and still being renovated, but I managed to find a place at the table to sit down at and answer a few fundamental questions about my resume. After that, I sprawled on a nice big leather couch with a pretty cute girl named Susan and my laptop and read a very rough draft for a film that Edward Bass is working on. I took notes, ate pizza and we had a fairly informal brainstorming session, giving notes, ideas and impressions about the script. i think this is where the interview really began. Either way, I was opinionated, but polite, forceful but respectful and got my points across then got the job. I start Monday- I think- doing general work that any entry level slave in the film biz does for a boss with much more experience, money and power, and is kind enough to give them. Plus- and here's the bonus- I may get to spend the month of March in Tennessee working on a film staring Christian Slater and Demi Moore. This is my dream in action people. It's definitely a step up from freezing cold lofts in Union City with people who have no idea what they're doing to an Academy Award winning producer in Manhattan. It's another scratch mark on the bricks as I eagerly try to climb up the edifice of the movie biz and break in thru the window. Let's see where it goes.
