Karen from We Make Movies here. My friend Kurt Kuenne wrote this piece in MovieMaker about his film ‘Shuffle’ starring TJ Thyne, which premieres tonight, 9:00pm at the Hollywood Film Festival.
Kurt embodies the spirit of what we’re all about here at WMM: Don’t let anyone tell you not to tell your story – just grab your friends and go make it!
Here’s a little excerpt from his article:
I was on page 60 of my first draft when I got the bad news.
I was in a groove. The story was flowing out of me. My fingers could barely type fast enough, and I wanted nothing more than to get the whole thing down on paper. I was right in the middle of a major set piece when the phone rang. My managers, Aaron and Sean, were on the line.
“Got some bad news for you.”
“Yeah?”
“Chris Columbus just sold a screenplay about a guy who lives his life out of order to Warner Bros.”
