WIP Wednesday

No one look at me. I woke up at 5am with an idea that made me not hate my Buddie baseball AU and now I'm 1.5k deep into the new approach.

And yes, y'all are about to learn that I'm a giant baseball nerd. The kind of nerd who, when I lived close enough to my team, had season tickets. There are 81 home games and from 2017-2019 I only missed 10 home games. I missed those games to travel around watching minor league baseball. The kind of nerd who hand tracked stats as a kid because it was fun for me.

This is all just a warning because this fic is might get a little inside baseball about... baseball...

Pitchers were weird, that’s just a fact of life that baseball players learn young. Sometimes they need a little special attention, sometimes they need to be left alone the day of a game, and sometimes they need a very specific Gatorade only made in Korea. In his two two years with the Dodgers, Eddie had seen his fair share of pitchers doing stuff that anyone else would think is weird before their start days, but because they’re pitchers it’s just accepted. Most of the guys in the clubhouse just ignore it, but Eddie, as the starting catcher, doesn't get that luxury. Bobby Nash always prays a decade of his rosary before a start. After their first game together, Eddie had started praying with him to get them in the same headspace. So between batting practice and first pitch Eddie and Bobby sit in front of Bobby’s locker, heads bowed together, and pray quietly. Chimney Han insists that watching a supercut of all of the Wild Thing scenes from Major League got him in the zone. Eddie’s pretty sure he could recite the compilation from memory by now because he’d watched it so many times with Chim. Before every one of Chim’s starts Eddie finds him in the little lounge area with his iPad and they watch a very young Charlie Sheen. Albert Han, younger half-brother of Chimney, is the one who insisted on the Korean Gatorade. Eddie didn’t drink it with him, instead he had his own pre-game snack and water while they discussed the line up again to keep fresh. Albert is probably the most well adjusted pitcher Eddie’s played with in the big leagues, but the bar is low so it’s not saying much. Ravi Panikkar got his first call up last year and Eddie quickly learned that Ravi needed a gentle hand. After his first few starts Ravi started to open up and apparently his thing before games was checking the real estate market, something about needing a back-up plan if baseball didn’t work out. Eddie would have made fun of him after the game, but it worked for him so Eddie didn’t say shit. Eddie liked to think he was used to pitchers and their idiosyncrasies after a basically lifetime of playing baseball and six years playing professionally, but he still wasn’t used to Evan Buckley. There wasn’t much Buck could do that would surprise Eddie, which was why Eddie only needed to gesture for Buck to come into his hotel room when he knocked on his door at 6am the first day the full team was set to report to Spring Training. It was still early enough that the air had a bit of a bite to it, but Eddie knew better than to be fooled by an Arizona morning. “Morning Buck,” Eddie rubbed a hand over his eyes, trying to get the sleep out of it. Buck hadn’t woken him up, but he had gotten Eddie out of bed, which was just as bad in Eddie’s opinion. They didn’t have to report until noon today to give the position players time to get their shit in order since pitchers and catchers had already been at camp for at least a week - or two weeks in Eddie’s case.

Hey Mike! Can you talk about your experience going from Absentia to Oculus? That process after Absentia went on its festival run to pitching Oculus? Would love to learn about that time in your life & career!

I moved to Los Angeles in 2003, right after I graduated college. I went to Towson University in Maryland, was an EMF major (Electronic Media & Film) and had wanted nothing more than to make movies my whole life. We were a comfortable middle class military family (my dad was in the Coast Guard) and for most of my life, making movies for a living felt like an impossible dream.

When I moved to LA I took whatever work I could find. I shot and edited those local car commercials you see on TV at 2am, I was a logger and an AE for reality TV shows, and I eventually worked my way to editing.

I said I'd give myself 5 years to make it in Hollwood. By the time we shot Absentia, I'd been here for 7 years, and in that time I hadn't gotten any closer to my dream.

I've already written at length about how Absentia came along and what it was like to make that little movie, and I've recently blogged about how the Oculus premiere changed my life and birthed my career, so I won't rehash those - but I don't often talk about what went on in between.

I finished editing Absentia just before my oldest son was born in 2010, and went back to working full-time as a reality TV editor. In fact, in the months leading up to his birth, I was working double-time - I spent my days at a company called Film Garden working on a series for DIY Network, and my nights editing packages at Nash Entertainment for those true crime clip shows. Whatever it took to keep the lights on and provide as much support as I could for my son.

While this was happening, I'd submitted Absentia to a pile of film festivals. We didn't get into any of the majors - Sundance, SXSW, and Toronto all passed on the film. Our world premiere was at the Fargo Film Festival, where Tom Brandau, one of my former professors from Towson - and one of my mentors - was teaching.

(Our original festival poster, WAY better than the weird clip art that would come later)

The movie got into a fair amount of film festivals, and we traveled with it as much as we could. I have fond memories of the Phoenix Film Festival, San Luis Obispo (where I met Greg Kinnear at a party and very awkwardly asked for a picture - you can see how thrilled he is about it) and my personal favorite: the Fantastia Film Festival in Montreal.

(At one of the screenings, I believe the San Luis Obispo Film Festival)

While this was happening, the film was picked up for a tiny VOD and DVD release through Phase 4 Films.

They were a Canadian distribution company whose claim to fame was putting out Kevin Smith's Red State under a very unusual distribution model. They acquired the movie, which led to a company holiday part in Hollywood.

There, I briefly met Kevin Smith for the first time. We've met again since, and I've now had a chance to thank him for the kindness he showed me back then - I was just some starstruck kid at a party, but he was gracious and available and inspiring. I really admire the way Kevin deals with his fans, and I've tried to emulate it over the years.

So that was kind of it for Absentia. We went to a few festivals, went to a few parties, and posed for a few pictures with some people we admired. Phase 4 designed some truly godawful cover art, dropped the movie into video stores, and that was that.

($2.99 is a pretty good deal)

So Absentia had pretty much run its course. It had a passionate following of fans, but between the crappy art design and glut of low budget horror films on the market, its moment had already come and gone. I was back at work, editing a series for DIY Network called Extra Yardage, and yearning for another chance to make a movie.

Absentia might not have broken open the industry doors like I'd wanted it to, but one thing it did yield was a meeting with an entertainment attorney named Joel VanderKloot.

I had been represented a few times over the years by various managers (to be honest, they were actually Jeff Howard's managers, and they took me on because we had a co-written project together.) But those relationships hadn't gone anywhere, I'd never sold a script or booked a job, and when I suggested making Absentia they were not supportive ("You've already tried the indie thing, haven't you?") so by the time Absentia was made, I was completely unrepped.

Joel was a family friend of Jason Poh, who was one of our Absentia Kickstarter backers. He was a guy who'd just found the project online and donated a thousand bucks. He kept up with us, and loved the final movie. He told me he knew an entertainment lawyer and offered to arrange a lunch.

I left my editing job at Film Garden for a long lunch and met Joel in Santa Monica (this was a day-killing drive for me). Joel had seen the movie and really liked it. We had a good lunch, but wasn't immediately sure about taking me on - it's a lot of work to take on a new client, and there wasn't much heat on my movie. But there was something there that he liked, and he called later that day to say he would take me on as a client.

I was elated. I felt like I'd made my movie to the best of my ability, and that it had flashed in the pan and then died... no one had noticed outside of a few festival audiences and critics. But here was someone who worked in the industry and he saw something in the film that he believed in.

Joel started looking for managers while I clung to my day job. He passed the movie around and we had a few nibbles, which led to the first manager in my career who wanted to simply represent ME: Nicholas Bogner.

Bogner went about setting general meetings at production companies who specialized in horror films. There weren't a lot of takers, and not everyone was willing to watch an entire feature film in consideration of a general meeting. So it was hit or miss - I was a nobody, after all, and they get these kinds of incoming inquiries all the time.

But there were a few takers. And the very first meeting I had was with Anil Kurian at Intrepid Pictures.

Again, I took an extended lunch from my editing job and drove across town to Intrepid's offices in Santa Monica. I was beyond nervous when I sat in the waiting room. The young man working the front desk signed me in and offered me a water. And then, just before the meeting started, he leaned over and he said "I loved Absentia, by the way."

Anil was a really cool executive and we had a good general meeting. At the end of it, he introduced me to the heads of Intrepid: Marc Evans, and Trevor Macy.

We all ended up in the conference room, where posters for Intrepid's other movies - at that time, The Strangers and The Raven - were hanging. I vividly remember staring at them while I pitched all five of the ideas I had for movies.

One of them was a story about a little boy whose dreams manifested in real life, and another was a take on Stephen King's novel Gerald's Game. But at the time, none of these ideas worked. The meeting was over, and everyone was politely going about their day.

I felt a panic in me. It was my first real meeting, the door had been cracked open just an inch by Absentia, and I was about to walk away with nothing. Would my new manager want to keep me? Would my new lawyer think he was wasting his time?

I stopped in the doorway and turned back. "I've got one other thing," I said. "I made a short years ago about a haunted mirror, and I have a take for a feature."

They kind of laughed at the idea of a haunted mirror. "How do you make that scary?" Trevor asked. I said "Think of it like a portable Overlook Hotel," and the room got a little quieter.

"I'd like to see that short," Trevor said. I agreed to send it immediately.

I ran back to work, stayed a few hours late to make up the time I'd burned on my lunch hour, and went home to find a DVD copy of Oculus: The Man with the Plan.

I'd made that short in 2005. It was 20 mins long, and a lot of fun. Over the years whenever I'd get into meetings (all courtesy of Jeff Howard, who had sold scripts long before we started writing together), people would see it and ask about a feature. Every time, though, the conversation stalled because they wanted the film to be a found footage movie, or they'd balk at the idea of me directing a feature.

I sent the DVD to Intrepid and waited. About a week later, they called and asked me to come back in.

I took another long lunch (this would become quite a habit as the project advanced) and drove back down. We met again in the conference room, but this time the mood was a little different.

Trevor said "We're interested in this. How would you expand it? I know there are cameras in the room with the man and the mirror, which begs the question of found footage..."

My heart sank.

"... but we're thinking that's a mistake. It looks like all the fun is in playing with reality, and you can't do that with found footage. So how would you do it?"

And we were off.

I won't rehash the long journey between this meeting and the Oculus premiere at Toronto (scroll down to find another blog about that), but that was really the moment when things changed.

I drove back to work a little giddy. Intrepid optioned the short film, I called Jeff Howard to see if he'd still want to work on a feature with me, and we were commissioned to write the script.

It was my first Hollywood job. I was paid the bare minimum, but I was also able to join the WGA because of the deal. I still didn't quit my day job (and wouldn't for a long time, not until the movie was really shooting in Alabama the following year) but I was off to the races.

Once the script was done, Oculus would lead to my first agents (at APA, and they treated me very well) and my first "real" movie.

What's particularly neat about this time, looking back, is that I owe it all to Absentia. We'd made this tiny little movie to try to kick open the door of Hollywood and start a career. And despite the enormous pride I had in the finished film, it felt for a long time like it hadn't quite succeeded in that.

But quietly, subtly, the movie did exactly what I hoped it would. The festival screenings built up a small but confident word of mouth. The movie led directly to my attorney Joel (who still represents me to this day), which led directly to my first real representation, which led directly to Intrepid Pictures.

Trevor Macy is now my business partner and has produced every single thing I've ever made since. We run Intrepid Pictures together, and I see that same eagerness in the faces of young filmmakers who find their way to us for general meetings. I try to be as supportive and accessible to them as I possibly can, because I remember very well what it feels like to stand in their shoes.

And Trevor even ended up making those other pitches he'd rejected all those years ago - Before I Wake and Gerald's Game followed soon after Oculus was done.

Absentia did everything I could have wanted it to do, and much more. I'll always remember that period of time with great affection... but man, it was stressful. The uncertainty of those years still exists in me, I don't think it'll ever leave.

Someone told me, along the way, that there wouldn't be a moment when I realized I "made it." It would happen while I wasn't looking. That ended up being absolutely true.

Concept/Comic Artists Part 1:

Masterlist

BUY ME A COFFEE

Not to be confused with conceptual artists within Art History, to find out more click here. Before deciding that I wished to be an art historian, I very much wished to pursue some type of art making. And I was mostly inspired by the idea generating and development within Concept Art spheres.

Concept Art is mainly used for idea generating within a market, for films or video games, and is used in drawing out designs from a brief and prompt. Comic artists, well that one I believe is self-explanatory (and some comic recommendations). The reason I’m making this post is because I wish to pay homage to my roots and highlight some more contemporary artists rather than dead ones from my Art History lessons.

And a special thank you @willow-dino for helping me! I lost all my notes on this topic, but someone still had theirs.

i just came across an in-print interview w/ elvis from 69' that hit home how private he really was. i mean, it's been told by those who knew him he was very private numerous times, but to see it personally is a different story. it made me realize how 95% of what we know about him is from other people and made me wonder how much we'd intimately know about him if he were alive today.

god this just made me realize that Elvis passed away not knowing how much would be said and written about him after the fact. I’m thinking of the betrayal he felt when Red, Sonny, and Dave Hebler announced that they were writing a book about him but multiplied by a million. Could you imagine how Elvis would feel knowing that practically every person he has shared oxygen with has come out and told a story about him or written a book that exposes extremely personal/private things about him… it’s crazy to think about when like you said he kept his life very private

And honestly when I first read the book written by Red, Sonny and Dave I truly didn’t understand what was so damaging because most of the stories told, and most of the behaviors of Elvis, were things I already knew from reading other books like Alanna Nash’s “Memphis Mafia” or like Peter Guralnick’s books. But this ask just also made me realize why it was so distressing to Elvis, beyond the fact that they were once his close friends. He was so distressed about it because it was literally the first time that people really close to him were exposing him and his life to the world and biographers had never had an inside scoop like that before. Of course there were some tabloids made about him, and former flings that went to the press to tell their stories but these were his friends, who he shared many years of his life with and now they were breaking the “code of silence” so to speak

Supposedly though Elvis actually talked about writing his own book titled “Through my eyes” about his life and rise to fame, and it makes me so sad to think he never got the chance to tell us how everything felt through his perspective. I want to hear about his life from him, not just people that knew him. Just imagine how different it would be compared to everything else written about him

Your ask also made me think about how he never really marketed himself outside of what the Colonel did, which he often had no input in. Unlike other singers/performers, Elvis never went on a talk show in the 60s and 70s trying to promote himself, and when he did do interviews during that time they were usually for press conferences or on movie sets. And even though Elvis was super famous, it still seemed like he was an outsider of sorts, amongst the other famous people in that era, because he kept to himself and he essentially lived in his own bubble at Graceland

also I’m kind of freaking out over the fact that I got magazine from February of 1971 in the mail delivered today and look who is on page 45 👀 (I didn’t even know he would be in it because this is a fashion magazine that I bought for hair/outfit inspo but I’m gonna take this as a sign)

“Has anyone ever tried to get you to open up when you just didn’t feel like it? You often prefer to keep things to yourself don’t you?”

#thank you for the ask!!#literally what are the odds that the magazine I bought from 1971 gets delivered today #and there is a page that talks about how private Elvis is because he was a capricorn #I’m shook #elvis presley #elvisaaronpresley #elvis #elvis history #elvis asks #elvis fans

The Cowboy and his Lady | Inheritance Games | Nash Hawthorne|

Me and my friend were thinking about Nash again, and thought of how he would be such a dog person. His dog would be a cocker spaniel, and in his true southern fashion, he would name it something sweet and very “him.” Nash Hawthorne named his dog Lady. His lil Lady.

When he first got Lady as a puppy, he would show her all the secret passages, narrating in a voice like talking to a baby:

"And this one, Lady, is where Xander hides all his scones. Doesn't know I know about it, but Nash knows everything, doesn't he?” *gets licked on the nose* “Yes, yes I dooo”

So then Lady starts going back to that place and using her nose to open up the special cabinet, because Nash Westbrook Hawthorne doesn’t have a dumb dog. No, no chance of that. So then, like 3 days later, at the dinner table, Xander busts through the frickin wall and is like "WHO. ATE. MY. SCONES."

Nash is sitting there, watching the chaos as Xander runs around the room, frantically trying to find the culprit, while he feeds Lady under the table, amused.

———

Going off my last post about Nash, he loves rain. So of course when he gets Lady, he has to share his love for it with her. I imagined that it would go something like this:

Grayson looked up from his stock market portfolio to see his older brother, Nash, running doing the stairs, two at a time. "Nash? Na-"

“GRAY, IT’S RAINING”

Nash took a sharp turn and disappeared from sight. Seconds later, Avery walked into the kitchen, coming to stand behind Grayson.

“What’s going on? I thought I heard someone yelling. Which isn’t unusual for this country of a house, but-“

Nash comes running back in, fumbling at unbuttoning with his flannel shirt buttons to reveal a white T-shirt underneath. “It’s raining, I have to go out there before it stops, and-”

Nash stopped suddenly, his eyes widening as he made eye contact with Avery. “Lady!”

“Wha-,” Avery began, but Nash was already dashing away.

"LIBBY, XANDER, WHERE'S LADY?! ITS HER FIRST RAIN. WE HAVE TO DANCE. JAMIE, WHERE IS MY DARLIN’ DOG?!”

———
