in the news...

A couple of friends emailed me yesterday to congratulate me and to tell me that they'd seen me (and The Rules) mentioned in the news!! Apparently, LOGO put out a press release announcing that four shows, including ours, had been given the greenlight for development.

To clarify, a greenlight for development is different than a greenlight for production. The former means they'll pay you to develop the project and create a presentation piece, which is what they'll use to decide whether or not they want to pick up your show (that's what we're doing with the pilot presentation). The latter means they want you to make your show for them and they intend to air it on their network (that's what we hope to have happen at the end of the day).

It's so exciting to see our project mentioned in places like the Hollywood Reporter and the Advocate... very cool. If you want to see the blurbs, check them out here:

The Advocate: http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid25435.asp

By the way, the info on the Advocate is slightly incorrect (Girl Play was a film Lee directed that I wasn't involved in) but everything else is good! :-)
