So what is new today ... well David Wain (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0906476/) got back to me and said "honestly it doesn't sound really like my cup of tea"
On a positive note he did say that only after reading the logline: Something Something… The Orio Story is a mock documentary that follows the adventures of America's newest (and probably stupidest) white rap sensation, Orio.
Which I do personally feel we need to improve or switch with, "Offensive humor and absurdity abound in this 8 Mile meets Spinal Tap mash up. Something Something… The Orio Story is a ridiculously stupid look at our cultures lack of meaningful celebrities. At least ours celebrity is a fake one."
So I sent David the entire Summary... so we will see. However this is must me spouting off.. but how do you summarize comedy... it doesn't work... I can summarize Romeo & Juliet and you would go ... "ok I get it" or summarize Titanic and you work away going "Shocking it sank? no way!"
But with comedy... I feel its really about the script and ... just think if people had asked Eddie Murphy to summarize his "raw" tour? Or any stand up comedians show... it doesn't work
Ok well back on track now...
LLoyd Robinson of Suite A Management request it, so I will be actually faxing it over to him, to save time.
Matteo emailed me and told me he was polishing the script one more time and adding in some formating to make it easier on all of us in the future if we decide to change anything. So at this point... we are getting pretty close to actually taking longer on editing and polishing it then it took us to write it!
Finally, we are currently lining up people to do coverage on the script... we have pretty much been waiting tell all the polishing was done before this part. Matteo knows a couple people, and I have a couple options... but I also checked out budgetcheetah.com and hollywoodlitsales.com which I will do some more reading on their services... but if anyone know anything about them positive or negative.. would greatly appreciate the advise!!!
