BLIND PURSUIT and 2017 SHORE SCRIPTS
Flow of Life and Hitting Trees
My son said this about Enduro Trail Riding in the East Texas Piney Woods:
“Sometimes I get into flow, but sometimes the trees get too tight or the terrain is unpredictable, and if I keep riding at my normal pace I fuck up a lot because it gets trickier and ups the difficulty. But I can get impatient when my pace drops off, so I try to push it, but then I’m thinking, ‘Oh great, I’m gonna hit this tree and die.'” – Russell Yazbeck
What an all encompassing statement of life. It applies to writing and to anything where we dream our dreams and push to be better and the best we can be.

Saltwater Underway
What an incredible cast and crew! We filmed the second half of my short drama, Saltwater, yesterday on location in Frisco, Texas.
And then we had one of the actors, Larry Lobster, for dinner.
The other actors, Rebecca Moore and Jesse Grider, were spared the boiling water. They’re needed for the next and final day of filming.
Matthew DeLeon directed the cast and crew with a quiet finesse that I predict will make him a big name someday. Thank you, Matthew.
Also…
My feature, Blind Pursuit, came in as a finalist in the 2016 Screenplay Festival under the Movie Script – Thriller/Horror category!

Goodbye, 2016.
And good riddance. It seems everyone I talk to is glad to see it go, including me.
I believe 2017 will be a better year. Isn’t that so human? Hope abounds.
So… in looking forward to a new and better year and bidding adieu to this very long past year —
My feature thriller BLIND PURSUIT placed as a FINALIST in the 10th Annual StoryPros International Screenwriting Contest!
Happy New Year!
