Possible Life Change

I’m so tired. I went to a screening last night for a new Jake Gyllenhaal film. There must have been 75 young models there. I have no idea why, other than to potentially meet Jake, but it seems like there might be a different reason. But I digress… got home by 1am and asleep by 2am, and Juma (my dog) woke me up at 6:30 for his morning wee. Damn you dog. Thankfully I’m just watching a movie tonight with my buddy Mark. He’s moving to Paris, so we’re hanging a bit. 

Anyway, I digress again…  I have been in talks to be the head of physical production for Bold Films, which is a company that finances and produces movies; one of which was the screening I went to last night  (“Stronger”).  I’ve had a couple meetings, a couple phone calls, a couple emails, and a couple screenings over the last four weeks, but no commitment, so I’m obviosly still looking for a new show. But at the screening last night I ran into the president of the company, and when he saw me he said “there he is, my new head of physical.”  Call me cynical (don’t really), but that seemed a bit too positive. Maybe he was being fake or too honest? You never can tell in this biz. I sent them my salary requirements, which were a tad on the high side, but if they want me to trade-off my lifestyle of multiple months off per year, then they have to pay.  I had this in the grand plan a few years from now, but not just yet. I wasn’t looking for this job. It just kinda fell in my lap. It would mean a full-time job here in LA. I can really start to build a life, a relationship, friendships, etc…   the reduced vacation time will be a drag, but maybe there’s a bigger opportunity here. Anyway, next week may be very telling.
