    Nice. Couldn't be more deserved, and a real testament to hard work and persistence.

            The funny thing is it ain't even Hollywood. It's to write a Russian language film and I don't even speak Russian!

            Not life-changing but it's another step in the right direction at least.

            Thanks.

                Congratulations ! That's fascinating.

                Is this one of Michelle Wolkoff's projects? She left Universal to do Russian films - when I spoke with her she was raving about 'Black Thunder'.

                  Nope.

                  It came about after I kept in touch with a director who was in the running to direct another one of my scripts but didn't land the job.

                  They hired him to direct and told him he could pick whoever he wanted within a certain budget range.

                  Thankfully, he picked me.

                  I owe him a bowl of some good borst.

                        Thanks again.

                        And as you can see the support and promotion from trackingb continues on even a couple years after I placed.

                        Everybody get in before their late deadlines...I believe they're 10-15-10 and 11-15-10. Definitely worth it.
