I could be a dad any day now. I had to stop and read that sentence again, as it is still sinking in nearly nine months later. All is going well, and all indications are that the baby could arrive any day now, or he could hold off for a few more weeks. Personally, I think it's the latter, but I'm not really basing that on anything. But the waiting process is getting weird, because there are so few times in life that something happens in which you have absolutely no experience or frame of reference. Usually, anything anyone does is at least similar to something else...but not this. I can't wait.
I'm also directing another movie this spring. Beth has graciously given me the green light to take a few weeks so the Chatham Light Productions boys and I are headed up to Cape Cod to shoot our comedy called "Whiffleball." It's another no-budget, guerilla production and we're really looking forward to it. Right now we're just about 100% locked on the script and we're knee deep in pre-production which, in our case, means trying to take care of any single detail that we can handle without actually being in Chatham to do so...which is pretty tough. We've got several of the major roles cast but we also have a few key parts still up for grabs, with no obvious candidates in the mix. We've also got some locations to secure, wardrobe and props to acquire, and a schedule to make. It's actually been nice to have this to occupy my brain and keep me from wondering when the baby will arrive. But we're now just shy of two months out from when we start shooting and all of the little things need to start falling into place. So if you're going to be around Cape Cod in mid-May, give me a shout. We can use some extras.

Hey, if you want publicity up here, let me know...I'd be more than happy to do an article about your film for my paper, the Cape Cod Chronicle, Chatham's weekly. Dan Adams is also doing a picture here called "Chatham," which begins filming this week in Osterville, before moving to Chatham in a few weeks. David Carridine, Dennis Hopper, Martin Landau,a few others are slated to star. It's low budget independent, but I love all types of film, and jump at the chance to write about anyone doing anything in my territory. Recently did a story about local residents making a five-minute short for a TV reality show contest. So let me know...call the Cape Cod Chronicle or email me at twood@capecodchronicle.com. Thanks! TW
