Not sure if pawning of some producer duties to Lawrence is going to work. Didn't work last week, haven't heard from Lawrence today - guessing there is no shoot this evening. Don't blame him - it's surprisingly hard to get actors together in such short notice...for a short.
Which leaves us with one short in the can, three written and waiting to be shot, and a bunch of ideas for shorts.
Also:
Apologies for the delay in posting "Three Fries." Final Cut Express ain't to be trifled with.
Ahhhhh, and now I have to do "real" work.
Can you feel the tension? How many more weeks will the Short-a-Week Project last?
Stay tuned.

Short Film Project Delayed, Actor Demands "Preparation"
LOS ANGELES, United States, July 20th - The Short-a-Week Project experienced delays today as principal talent Lawrence Long refused a request to film until "we have something in mind to shoot."
"I don't want to just wing it," he added, a reference to past works such as Post No Bills and Rock Star. Each of those shorts began with little or no script, and were essentially created on the fly.
Those "winged" shorts have had mixed results for The Short-a-Week Project. Post No Bills became a surprise hit, while Rock Star did not fare as well with general audiences, possibly leading to Long's reluctance to film without a plan.
The shoot was rescheduled for Monday at 10am, before which time a script and shot list will be sent to Long. All parties agree that such planning on future shorts can only improve the finished product.
