Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01047)

As maybe casting director, I would like to employ as my assistant, Chuck the Heretic, I believe he will add balance to the project, the other perspective! Mauri you can only speculate until you come up with a story line, and then when we are all dead, we can go into production.

Production note:
Ok... That's good for starters. So, we'll consider Iain, possibly, as 
comedy director (HPB was funny, wasn't she?) -- Cass, maybe, as casting director -- 
and Mauri, speculatively, as story director. Now let's see them all come up 
with some useful ideas that coordinate with each other. LM 

To: Iain, Cass and Mauri,
I wasn't joking. I was just poking and maybe pulling your legs a bit to see 
if there were any real filmmakers among us. But, if you want to keep on that 
way, that's Ok, too. BTW, since this is an American picture, we don't 
use "aeroplanes." Besides, airplanes and Empire State type buildings weren't 
invented yet.
