Well, a few weeks ago, I met up with an Independent Producer friend Coreena, and showed her my Trailer, and talked to her about BECOMING MAGNUM. She suggested I talk with her friend KEN about it, and forward my Pitch Package to him, and he would know where to go from there.
I forwarded COREENA my Package, and she forwarded it to KEN.
2 Weeks later I was ON SET of a TV Series Pilot Trailer, which will be used to help sell their TV Series much like I'm using my Trailer to sell/pitch BECOMING MAGNUM.
I ended up talking with the Producers/Creators KEN and MICHAEL. During the 1st Frame of my Trailer, KEN says to me, "This isn't Becoming Magnum is it?"
Turns out he is the Ken that Coreena had sent the package to, but because he was busy prepping for his Trailer Shoot, he hadn't had a chance to really look at it.
Then on the second day of shooting, he let me borrow his D.O.P. and HD Camera so I could get a shot of me as THOMAS MAGNUM turning around wearing the Red Hawaiian Shirt, looking at the camera, smiling, and doing the double eyebrow raise.
Later that same day I met a guy warming up his Red Ferrari. I showed him my Trailer and he agreed to let me use his Ferrari for a shot of me in the car, and then driving off, to recreate more of the footage from the opening sequence of MAGNUM P.I.
Then on Sunday, just a few days ago, I was ON SET of a Short Film playing CASINO SECURITY and making someone leave. Naturally I showed people my Trailer, and got great feedback. I asked the Producer if he'd be willing to let me use the footage of me as Casino Security for my Trailer, in which I will cut in the first few minutes from LAS VEGAS' Halloween Episode with Roger E. Mosley and Larry Mannetti (Rick & TC ) with Tom Selleck upstairs overlooking the Casino floor, and then CUT ME IN as Casino Security removing these 2 guys.
Turns out, one of the Producer's (ANDREW's) friends is dating Molly Sims (from the TV Series LAS VEGAS.)
Andrew has agreed to help me out as much as he can!
And I am currently in the beginning stages of planning a CHARITY FUNDRAISER EVENT for Children with Lupus and Celebs for Kids for the middle of June in which we will be Raffling off a 1991 Ferrari 348 GTS and a Hawaiian Vacation and hopefully several more goodies to raise money for the Charity.
I will do my best to keep you informed and up to date.
Mike.
