Sample Scene: I Don't Recall + other stuff

Hello Again,

Just wanted to keep everyone posted on how the new script is coming along. We have about 85 pages written. Probably have another 20-25 left. A scene here and there. The basic story is all there. Just need to tighten it up some and fill in some of the missing chunks. It will probably be about 110-120 pages by the time it's completed.

Below is a scene from the script. But before that I would like to give you a little context. Martin, a mild mannered pushover in his mid 30's, is meeting his long time girlfriend (Sara) for their anniversary dinner. He is going to propose to her. She has other ideas.

And starting May 1st, new weekly episodes of The Moped Jones Drunken Podcast and we'll be doing Drunken Commentaries to popular films (like Titanic).

All proceeds from the channel will go towards I Don't Recall's budget. 

So that's what's going on right now. No Regrets will start up in April or May and will start shooting in May or June. It's a 4 day shoot (2 weekends). Hope it have it edited and ready to submit to festivals in August. Pretty pumped about that.

In the mean time, Kate and I will keep chugging along on the script. I say this a lot, but I can't believe how talented of a writer she is. I'm so used to bumping heads when I collaborate with someone, but she trusts me and I trust her, so writing with her has been a pleasant surprise.  Once the script is done we'll send it to a script consultant and get some feedback. Then we'll incorporate her notes and rewrite the script (hopefully we won't have to do too much).  Then from there we will start contacting some name talent and gauge their interest in the script as well as get a quote for what it would cost to have them in the film.

Pretty exciting times are ahead for Moped Jones.  Hope you enjoyed the sample scene!

Can't wait!

Loads of new articles + some updates!

As some of you know I recently started writing for Yahoo! Contributor Network to get back in the writing habit for a feature length comedy screenplay my g/f (Kate) and I are working on called I Don't Recall.

Well, a funny thing happened while writing for Yahoo!  I started making money at it.  Not a ton right off the bat, but enough to keep at it.

Below are the articles that I have published since my last blog.

CLICK HERE to read by Hollywood is making too much money to be original. Expect more of the same from them in 2014.


CLICK HERE to read about how to run a successful Kickstarter campaign. I show you what to do and breakdown one filmmaker's dreadful attempt at a campaign and why it failed miserably.


CLICK HERE to read an article about pot. Yeah, it's about it being legal in Colorado.


CLICK HERE to read why resigning Jay Cutler was a no-brainer for the Bears.


CLICK HERE to read how Starbucks' attempted pissing contest with a local bar owner backfired miserably and actually helped the bar. When will big companies learn how quickly social media can be used against them?


As you can see, I've been very busy writing articles for Yahoo! the past couple weeks. While I haven't made a ton of money, I have about $500 saved up to go towards I Don't Recall. Which is roughly about 1% of what the budget will be.  I know that doesn't sound like much but by the time we're ready to shoot in the late spring/early summer of 2015 I hope to have about $6500 of my own money to put towards the film (which is about 12.5% of the budget $50,000).  I will be setting aside all my Yahoo! money + all my weekly incentive money from the day job. I have about 80 weeks to save up.  Hopefully when people see how much of a risk I'm willing to take on my own film they will be willing to donate via kickstarter/indiegogo later in the fall when we do a campaign.

Speaking of I Don't Recall, Kate and I have hit a bit of a snag, but still have 70 pages of the script completed. Just need to tie up a few loose ends and write a few more scenes and it will be over 100 pages (which is our goal).  100 pages will keep the movie within the 80-90 minutes range. Obviously we're fine with it being longer, but we definitely don't want it shorter. 

So that's where we're at with that.  If you have to read an article that you enjoy please share it with your friends. I get paid by the view, so sharing my articles really helps me out.

Thank you,
