Here’s a pic I snapped while out scoping locs today for The Spider Babies. This is 100% real and not production design at all - but don’t be surprised if you see similar signs pop up in the actual movie. This is too good not to rip off.

In addition to writing lots of screenplays, John August also writes a blog that is full of useful information for screenwriters. After experiencing frustration with getting screenplay text to display with proper formatting, he put together something called Scrippets. It’s a plug-in for various blogging systems that lets you wrap a clip from your script with a tag which makes it automatically display it in a format that looks like a screenplay. Pretty cool. To test it out, here’s a clip from THE SPIDER BABIES.
EXT. - ROOF
Johnny and Ethel are getting dressed. They listen to the ruckus from the gang down below.
JOHNNY
Did she already run off another boy?
ETHEL
That would be a new world record.
As she pulls on her t-shirt she looks out at the highway and notices several wrecked cars. Other cars seem to have driven off the road and stopped in fields.
ETHEL (CONT’D)
Baby, look! A car crash.
Johnny stands up and squints into the light.

Here we go again. We are beginning the process of casting for the new movie THE SPIDER BABIES (although the working title is DAMNATION ROAD, I am letting you in on the secret here). We will be casting in a few different cities… strange I know.
I’m attaching a press release for the first casting session in OKC. If you, or anybody you know, fits any of these types, have them contact me with head shots, etc. We are casting a wide net for this one.

John Oak Dalton just tipped me off that Sex Machine is now available as an “Instant Play” via Netflix. That means you can watch the movie immediately via your computer or other digital device. I don’t know the details of how it works, but if you’re already a Netflix member, what do you have to lose?

I’m having so much fun with Vimeo, that I want to post every scrap of footage I can get my hands on. Here’s a short documentary about the making of SEX MACHINE. Watching this again brought back so many memories, both good and bad and put me in a head space that I hadn’t been in for quite awhile. Making the movie was an amazing experience and hopefully this captures a glimmer of it.
