by Darthclaw13Hi everyone,
Well, I watched the newest Predator film...Prey on hulu yesterday. Being a fan of the predator franchise I had hope that this one would revitalize it.
I was happy that most of the cast was Native American. Everyone did a pretty good job.

by JeffLowellI have a new spec I'm putting together, and I thought it might be interesting to run another experiment with some of the coverage services out there. I did this awhile ago with a pilot.
The one thing I can't do is test what kind of rep or producer attention these services attract......07-20-2022, 10:07 AM
