First thing, Ashlea is dying to see what my room/apartment looks like so here are some pictures (these are from a few days ago before Nathan had all his stuff out so it's a little more cluttered in the pictures than it is now):

My mail has been messed up lately and I haven't been getting my Netflix. I also haven't received Pastor Jones 1 or 2 yet because of it. Nu-Lite said I should have gotten them by now. I'm pretty sure I corrected it so I can get mail now but who knows what all I've missed.

I had an interview at Co-op Temp Agency this morning. They said they would call me when they had work for me but they didn't know when that would be.

I set up an interview at VER Video Equipment Rental for Thursday. They pay is pretty good. After 90 days you start to get benefits and you can rent the equipment for free and they have everything. That looks like what I'm going to do for a bit while I figure out this Nu-Lite deal. It will also give me time to write when I'm not working I suppose.

I joined a gym that has an outdoor heated lap lane pool, a sauna, hot tub, and a basketball court.

My parents are moving to Nashville in two weeks.

I'll keep you posted.

I'm here at a North Hollywood Library because my internet is temporarily out while we switch names on the account. It's kind of a freakshow in here.

I have a meeting with a temp agency on Monday that caters specifically to film and television production jobs. I was referred by Erica, that's where she got her start and now she's a writer on "Criminal Minds" plus she wrote for "The OC" so if I could follow in her path that'd be great.

I also have an application for VER, a film and video equipment rental warehouse where I would make good money and be able to work a lot of hours and save some money. I'm still thinking about what I want to do though. I'm also considering doing background acting (extra) work because it sounds fun, you get to be on real sets, and the money is also pretty good. I need to decide soon though, I'm getting stir crazy at my apartment all day.

I'm awaiting the delivery of the movies I'm supposed to watch for Nu-Lite. They might be here today, I haven't gotten the mail yet. This is what I'm waiting for:


So, as you can see, I have hours of entertainment/research ahead of me to enter the world. I don't know if I can discuss exactly what the movie they want me to do is about but it is related to Pastor Jones' world. Apparently the Pastor Jones series is popular among their viewers.
Here's the website where my movie will be distributed (I'm saying all this presupposing that the movie actually gets made):

The next step with that process is that I have to watch those movies and start outlining and take another meeting with Nu-Lite.

Here's a couple pictures from my drive out here with my dad:

a very L33t rest stop

this is from my time back home:

In other news, my roommate has a juicer and my new favorite thing to do is make juice and my new favorite thing to drink is the juice I made.

Note to self: start bringing my camera more places. I was at the thrift stores yesterday and I saw a bunch of interesting things that I didn't want to buy but I wanted to document them. I'm selling things on EBay again by the way. If you want to bid on some silly t-shirts you can go here: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQsassZpeter15h

Hopefully I'll have some good stuff to share tomorrow or later this week. I hope this was a fun post, I know I had a great time posting it.

It is still too early to say much but I had a meeting with Nu-Lite Entertainment today and they offered me the chance to direct a very, very (very) low budget FEATURE LENGTH MOVIE. They already have a basic story and it's a spin off of one of their previous series of films.

The producer went to the LAFSC screening because she is friends with one of the actors in Death and Money. She saw Jasper, then approached me after the screening, and we traded information. She called me while I was back home helping my parents move and we set up a meeting for when I got back. So it has been a very fast process.

They're sending me the previous films to watch so I can get acclimated to the world and to the characters. The producer told me to give her a call once I've watched them and we'd start doing some paperwork, writing an outline, etc.

I have to rent equipment, assemble part of the crew, and start thinking of the story generally.



I am beyond excited.

Back To LA

Over the past month I went home to graduate, help my parents pack up the house because they're moving, and spend time with Ashlea, my family, and my friends. It was some good quality time but it seemed like it went by very fast.

I didn't walk at graduation because my parents and grandparents came to my film premiere in LA. That was more important to me than making them sit through the names being read at the ceremony. However, I learned that I graduated from the Honors College and Magna Cum Laude.

I am currently in Texas on my way back to LA. I've taken a couple pictures during the trip which I'll post later.

I'm moving into an apartment in North Hollywood with an alum from the LAFSC from the semester before mine. I'm replacing another LAFSC alum who won't have moved out by the time I want to move in so we're going to be cramped until he gets a new place, which hopefully won't be too long. I don't mind because once he moves out I'll have my own room in one of the lesser expensive apartments I've seen when I was looking for a place.

Job-wise I don't have anything locked down yet. On Monday I have a meeting with Nu-Lite Entertainment. A Producer/Manager from the production company approached me after the Jasper screening and said she wanted to meet with me. I called her yesterday and she said to bring a copy of Jasper, a resume, and any other work I wanted to show her. I'm not sure what the meeting is about though. Best case scenario, they want me to write and/or direct something for their company. That would be huge. I'm not expecting that too much yet.

If that doesn't go well, my next plan is to call a temp agency I was referred to by Ashlea's friend who writes for "Criminal Minds." She started there and she said that it was a good way to meet a lot of people. I'm cool with that. After my meeting on Monday I'll decide if I need to call them or not.

I'm also meeting with my directing teacher at some point in the next week and a half. He produces on "Intervention" and although he doesn't know of any openings right now he said he'd keep his ears open.

My dad and I have been driving 12+ hours a day but it hasn't felt like that much. We took a break to see Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal Skull last night and I liked it a lot.

Grand Canyon today.

As always: PeterLHarmon@gmail.com
E-mail me if you need my new address, I don't really want to post it online.

Good stuff,

more later.

Wrapping Up

Today, check out meeting, picking up my dad at the airport, cook out.

Tomorrow, HPW Premiere.

Wednesday, MPP screening, final banquet.

Thursday, trying to find a place to keep my car for May.

Friday, see Thursday.

Saturday, coming home.

I found a place to live (most likely). It's in North Hollywood in a 2 bedroom 2 bath. My roommate is an LAFSC alum from last year. I'm supposed to meet up with him this week to discuss the details.

My last day of class was yesterday, my last day of my internship is today. I hope something crazy happens.
