dim sum diaries

I know it's premature to talk about this, but I don't care. A producer in BC wants to produce The Forbidden Phoenix as part of the 2010 Olympics cultural component. Yay! I'm bouncing off the wall right now. The really great news is that the producer is trying to pull together funding to do a full-scale version of the play with a full chorus and a live orchestra. In other words, he wants to put his money where his mouth is. Still to early to know what will happen... depends on budgets...but regardless of what financing his company gets from the Olympics, he will put on a version of the show.

And if that isn't good enough news, a friend of mine just pitched a tv project to a producer out east and the producer wants to take a look at my play, "Mom, Dad, I'm Living with a White Girl," for possible adaptation to a TV series.

Oh boy, I need to sit down and catch my breath. When news like this hits, it makes all the pain worthwhile... and believe me, there's been a lot of pain in my life over the last couple of weeks. Most of it is work related, but I am counting down to the anniversary date of the home invasion.
