Gary Cosay encouraged me to write my secret society script on spec, if I have the inclination and the financial freedom to do so.
“You’re in a good position right now,” he said, “in that Larry Turman is waiting for a script from you that stands a very good chance of going. If this movie gets made, whatever you write next will automatically have a lot of interest, and potentially be worth a lot of money.”
He also said: “If you write a couple more scripts on spec, and if they’re good, you’ll be in a position to do more than just write. You’re carving out a road for yourself. You can drive your car down it any time you want.”
I want Birthstone to get made so bad… I can’t let myself think about it.
