What the? Somebody stole my script?
Cool news.
I got an email a couple weeks ago from Andrew Sanchez telling me he wanted to steal my script for Earnest and Emm Kill Their Dad. I was all, "Sure"! But I know how these things work. Movies take time to make. Money is hard to raise.
Andrew was pretty confident. He was all, "I am in the process of raising funds, but this project will 100% be made."
And I was all, "Cool!". But I know how these things work. Time is short. Priorities shift.
He emailed me back a couple days later and was all, "I have some family members who may help w/ what little financing I may need... I've put together a very small crew of about 9... I've scheduled shooting in Los Angeles for Dec 3rd...".
And I was all, "That's wicked!". But I know how these things work. Procrastination can happen. Holidays take over EVERYTHING.
Two days ago, the dude sends me these:
And he's all, "The name of our short is 'Emilio y Earnest Matan!' You'll see that we took it a different route but worked off your idea. Once again i'd like to thank you for letting us use your awesome story."
And I'm all...
Dude is making movies!
Let me say. There are people who like the idea of making movies and then there are people who go out and make movies.
Andrew makes movies.
Congrats to Andrew and his whole cast and crew on getting a film in the can.
I have no idea how much of the original script ended up in the final. Doesn't matter. (I have a feeling it's also made a wicked transition to Spanish! - awesome).
I can't wait to see what Andrew has put together! He's promised an update when there's more to share.
