Last Friday I met with a film director friend of mine who shot a pilot episode of a quirky new TV show that he's pitching to a bunch of studios in January. I was invited to the pilot shooting this past October and hung out with the actors and crew. It was a very cool and informative two days.
There is virtually no budget to shoot this pilot and pitch it. Everyone is working for free to see if we can make it work. I was (as I call it...) "dinkin'” around on the piano and landed on what I thought might be good theme music for the show, so I called my director friend and we met and he was totally elated about it! So now we're scheduling time to record, produce and segment it for the pilot. Just wanted to share the good news with my friends here. It's always a shot in the dark, and although I can't say much about the series or the pilot, it's definitely snarky, fun, a bit of a comedy and also a drama. So wish us luck, if you would.
I'm also collaborating with our very own Aya Katz, here on HP on a stage musical. The script is very powerful. I've got lots of musical ideas, and I think many of them will work, but that is all yet to be determined as the structure of the music is fleshed out with the script. I hope we can get into workshops and readings around April next year. I think that's a reachable goal.
So my writing hubs is suffering while I focus on my first love of composing for a while. I just wanted to give you all an update and share a little good news. Let's hope the momentum keeps going.
Cheers!
Sometimes a shot in the dark hits the bull's eye.
Good luck.
I would say I am preying for you, but.............
wow Daniel! that is good news, not just a bit of good news lol That is soooo cool!
I think the project is overrun and overwrought with producers. But thanks for the offer!
Good luck to you and congrats! composing music is a holy, wonderful thing - Can't wait to hear it.
hey, Daniel, that's great news and a good way to get your name out there!
another good way to get going is at film festivals, meeting the different movers and shakers. do you have any near you?

I'm seeing an uptick in views the past few days, today being the best. I'm wondering if anybody else is having this same thing happen? It's in both subdomains, but in my main one, views have doubled. Almost afraid to like it because it seems odd for my stuff at this time of...

I don't know about you, but I am so tired of reading or hearing of all the bad news going on in this world. Surely, there is some good news out there in the world! If you've read of something good, inspirational, positive, heartwarming, humans being kind to one another ...anything good,...

What is the "Good News?" What is its purpose?I have seen the term used among people on religious forums. I wonder if there is a unified understanding of the term.

I just had an idea: to get our minds of all the bad news the media presents us with how about we have a thread in which people can post any good news they come upon? And it can be personal, national or international news!My good news of the day was finding out that the UK government says it is not...
