Was just told something in confidence on this front that, if true, will certainly rattle some cages and, remarkably, be great for the creative side of the industry. If it comes to pass, it'll be late Q1, early Q2, but likely reported on before that.

Pamela Jaye Smith

Too much emphasis on $$ over story and people does seem to be slipping...here's to more focus and support of the creativity part of show biz.

Sam Sokolow

The sane years were fun. Which ones were they again? Keep creating!

Well, at least the recent uptick in spec sales is a positive sign, Pamela Jaye Smith. Let's hope that momentum continues.

Ashley Renee Smith
