I just returned from Abu Dhabi last week. One of my screenplays was selected as a finalist for the Shasha Grant Screenplay competition and was flown to Abu Dhabi for the Circle Conference.

For two days we traveled throughout the country on a retreat to learn about Bedouin Culture while getting to know the panelists attending the conference.
The Conference had panels everyday with a key note speaker everynight including: the directors Spike Lee, McG and actor Antonio Banderas.

For the competition, we were matched with mentors to hone our pitch, then we pitched some Hollywood heavyweights. Then we attended the opening night of the Middle East Film Festival before returning home.

I loved the experience of the retreat. It was so relaxing to be out in the desert under the stars. The whole trip was the opportunity of a life time. I loved getting to know His Excellency Salem Ebrahim Al Mazrouei and hear about his culture and stories of living in Los Angeles. He was the perfect guide for the retreat and showing us the best of the Bedouin culture.

The mentor session gave me the opportunity to hone my pitch and feedback that my mentors Bob Yari and Hal Sadoff, Head of Film at ICM offered was great. It was a challenge to pitch Kathleen Kennedy, Ashok Amritraj and Jim Gianopulos and I did not win the competition. However, the trip was fantastic and for the experience and the contacts, we are all winners.

See attached two pictures taken after my pitch in Abu Dhabi.
From Left to Right:

Adrienne Briggs, Directo of The Circle Conference.

James N. Gianopulos, aka Jim Gianopulos, is a co-chairman-CEO of Fox Filmed Entertainment with Tom Rothman. They were selected by Premiere.com as the two most powerful men in Hollywood

Kathleen Kennedy, Steven Spielberg's producer

Yours Truly,

Ashok Amritraj, CEO of Hyde Park Entertainment

Opportunities this like competition make years of hard work all worth it...

All the very best,

Cheers,

Rob

What We do.

2008-08-15T11:00:00.001-07:00

PHILOSOPHY

Some call their film project „Baby”, others speak of it like it's a military campaign. Many talk about material or packages, as if they were a shipping company.
We regard our film projects as friends who live with us. Life's not been easy on our flatmates (troubled childhood, political persecution, lovesickness...). Sometimes they might have to put their feet on the table, eat the cookies in bed or shed tears into the wine glass. Sometimes they're overdue with the rent or with the dishes. But they make us laugh and cry, entertain our guests and bring in flowers they've picked. They'll clear out the crumbs. And we'll be a little bit sad when they move out to conquer the theatres.

YOUR STORY IS HOMELESS?

We're always looking for new, entertaining, moving stories told for the big screen. If you want to find a place for your story to live, don't hesitate to send it to us. If it drops by in exposé form and by e-mail, we promise to reply (please no faxes, no phone calls)!

9:12 AM [Photo] Way into Gerard Way said... I believe the film will have an extended fan base from those who listen to the band My Chemical Romance if at least one of their songs is in the movie. Based on the fact that the band was named after the book “Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance”.

Even as background music, they are very talented group.

Their new album is dark and all about death and suffering. Very transferable to the plot if the book/movie [however they remake it].

"Teenagers" is good, very popular.

"Mama" can be edited to make a good track for the movie in my opinion

"The Sharpest Lives" is a great junkie song.

Best of luck to all involved in the production, i hope its a hit!

6:39 AM [Photo] Anonymous said... no you moron we cn't have my chemical romance. Mainly because their music would never do anything written by Irvine Welsh any justice. I suggest the Stone Roses, Iggy Pop, Happy Mondays and A Storm in Heaven by Verve and greg paterson is also right except for groove armada. 7:44 AM [Photo] Anonymous said...
