Hard to believe I haven't blogged in so long. Been very busy with Marketing and development. Just finished a new HACHIDOG script with Vicki and we will start efforts to get into production.<br />
Very excited about a Korean Venture about the life of the singer Sung Bong Choi. I am working on this with Lynn Santer, who will co write and Priscilla Presley who will be involved in developing the film and the music.</div>
