Winding down
Hey guys,
So I've got another week working in LA before I start the cross-country trek back to Charlottesville, VA. Tomorrow is a big day, I traded days at Sidney Kimmel and I'll be covering for an executive assistant who is spending the day house hunting. It's a little nerve wracking because I have to be the personal assistant to two executives (answering phones, rolling calls, running their schedules, managing their phone sheet) and I have to receive script submissions. I will also take part in the Weekend Read meeting. The creative department brings scripts home for the weekend and then discuss them in a round-table format on Monday. I have to present a script called GOD ONLY KNOWS. It's a fun little romantic comedy in which a young filmmaker who has given up on Hollywood and moved back to Boston falls for a beautiful Jewish girl and pretends he is Jewish so he can get to know her. It's well written and the characters are definitely appealing. There are some big laughs and all-in-all I liked it. Now, is the conflict involving enough? I'm not sure. We'll see how it goes, wish me luck!
Other quality films I've watched this summer:
Godfather II
Margaret Cho: I'm the One the I Want
Extras: Season 1
The Hours
The 40-Year-Old Virgin
Jesus Camp
Satanas (Amazing Columbian film that's looking for North American distribution. It's a film that one should definitely see without reading a plot summary.)
