#TNTML Movie Update!

W00t! W00t! Good news, nerds! I didn't have to go to San Fran ... which locals have corrected me NUMEROUS times in saying they call it "The City" not "San Fran." Well excuuuseeeeee me Lauren Conrad, er Whitney Port!

 

I'm pretty excited ... I was honestly only going to just get some questions answered, and I am happy to report, that I did in fact get all of the info I was looking for without the 6.5 hour drive. YAYY!!! Dude, not that I'm complaining, I love me some driving, but for efficiency sake - 2 calls, 3 emails, and 1 skype answered everything I needed to know.

 

A release was sent out yesterday, and another one is going today ... can't say to who, or why, or how ... cause yeah. I just can't ... but its pretty bitchin.

 

We're hustling like a mofo, and it just amazes me that it all happened BECAUSE of social media. Again, this isn't "The Social Network" (which was very honestly fab, btw! Totally go see it!) ... origin stories in the social space don't really interest me. Just because my life rights are associated with it, and the main character is based on me does not mean that it is "This is the story of Jen ..." That would just be weird, and I'm only 25 ... and ... yeahhhhhhhhhh, I'm just getting started. 

 

But thanks a heap for all the offers regarding couch surfing. Greatly, greatly, greatly appreciate it. If I was wearing socks, you would have knocked 'em off, you nerdy lovers you. RAWRRRRR!!!!

#TNTML Movie Update: Hello, Twitter HQ!

Alrite nerds, every time I've posted on this lately, unfortunately I've had to take it down. We're in that super rad stage of still needing certain things connected, and my problem is, anytime I ever need anything done - I just post on it or tweet it. Some things however, are not for public knowledge juussttttt yet. Pitfalls of being a lifecaster, sometimes YES, there are things that I cannot say (but no worries, I save all the posts, just don't publish 'em! #SCORE!)

 

So, on Tuesday I am heading up to San Fran. Yep, there is some nerdy business I need to take care of with the folks over at Twitter ... and I'm super super superrrrrrr excited. I have no idea how long I am going to be up there to be honest, or where the hell I'm even staying. However, I'm pretty good at figuring that shit out, so I'm pretty stoked. We just have to get some things done, and honestly, I have devoted my life to this ... this kinda passion, and focus, times 86,400 seconds in the day. This is LITERALLY the last, last, last, thing that is holding us up - so yeah, I'm pretty fucking motivated.

 

I don't know if I'm going to livestream it, or just film it - but either way ... this is going to be one bitchin, bitchin story.

 

But in all seriousness, if you live in San Fran, I'd totally kill for a couch to crash on. I don't think I will need longer than a solid day to get this goal accomplished, maybe 2 at most - but either way, would greatly greatly appreciate it. Feel free to send me a tweet: @JenFriel or Facebook my butt. I'll make sure you get a "thank you" in the credits. No, for reals ... it's all about the community man. So, lets get this shit done.

 

Rock on nerdy folk, ROCK ONN!!!!

#TNTML Movie Update: Oh baby, it's on!

So, if you're new *waves* welcome ... hi, I'm Jen. Hollyhood totally took an idea that I had for a webseries, and are turning it into a major motion picture. SUH-WEET!!!!!

 

Alrite, so our uber nerdy director has been working with the nerd god ... and just wrapped his deadline on some rad commercials he was doing. For reals, this guy displacing wind near you, will make you shiver. He is soooo friggen well known the guy not only created the entire genre, but still makes hot nerdy love to it. It's like being a priest and having a direct line to good ol' JC sayin - yo, what up homedog? Got a question ... Yeah ... our director is totally BFFs with this dude. Either way, our shiznat is moving really fast, and once we get a "go" this week we're pretty much going to be rockin' and rollin'. SOO!! All other projects etc, had to get tied up first. Or something like that ... I don't know to be honest, I'm not interested in the Hollywood politics. I just know that this is going to work, and the timing is DEAD ON, and um ... yeah. Final draft is getting banged out tonight in Hollyhood ... and then I get to head over to hang out with IRL Ari Gold. Dude, the lead is a lifecaster!!!! Do you know what that does to my nerdy knickers??? It's going to set a standard for other unapologetically awesome nerds to go out and do it ... so ... so ... SOOO EFFIN RAD!!!!!!!!!

 

Either way, lots and lots and lots and lots going on. But keeping pretty sane. When the news breaks, I'll have it defaulted on TNTML before it goes to Variety, or Deadline, or The Hollywood Reporter. Not that I consider myself a journalist or anything ... but this is my baby. Besides, any reader of this site knows if you read the updates - we spell out pretty clearly what's going on. =) Can't wait guys, thanks again so much for everything!!!

#TNTML Movie Update: Final Draft Time!!

So, if you're new *waves* welcome ... hi, I'm Jen. Hollyhood totally took an idea that I had for a webseries, and are turning it into a major motion picture. SUH-WEET!!!!!

 

DUDDESSSS!!! Omg, first off .... what a week this has been. Tomorrow, @bryceless and I are sitting down with the uber nerdy director to go through the script line by line and get it ready to be presented next week. Yeah, big shit. Again, I'm not really scared - just incredibly anxious. We're talking about life changing things here, nerds. Personally and professionally there is no going back ... and I'm kinda kosher for passover with that. I've been waiting for this for a very long time ... I just had to learn how to step up to my OWN plate. So rad ... so, so, radddd!!! So yeahhhhh!!! I'll definitely let you know how it goes tomorrow, but we are moving at LIGGHTT speed on this!!! In normal Hollywoodland for us to get to this point with everything would have taken months. Thankfully the technological component of it is really kicking people in the butt - which is bitchin.

 

Stay tuned nerds ... good stuff is a' comin'!!!

#TNTML Movie Update: WGA Certification CHECK!!!!

So, if you're new *waves* welcome ... hi, I'm Jen. Hollyhood totally took an idea that I had for a webseries, and are turning it into a major motion picture. SUH-WEET!!!!!

 

W00t! W00t!!! Looky, looky what @bryceless got in the mail the other day ...

 

 

 

 ...

 

 

SOOOOOOOOOOOO, we're currently on draft 4.1 of the script. Bryce and I are going to sit down with the director this week, and get everything smoothed over ... and once the re-write is good, and we're all on the same page ... we're going out wide with it baby!!! Still doesn't feel real to me. This definitely helped, but I don't think it will hit me until I have some sort of payment in my hand. I bartered my current living and office arrangements, and get everything taken care of for me as far as my day to day is concerned ... but I still own this brand outright. I haven't accepted a single check, which is just SOO effin rad!!!!! Means the unapologetic awesomeness can continue, and no one can have it ... so nah nee nah nee poopy!!! =)

 

 

Pretty stoked to say the least, but this has honestly been the hardest I have ever worked in my entire life. It is so consuming - its nutso ... again, the lead is based on me, but its not my life story. It's just an experiment I wanted to conduct on the site in the form of a web series. Bahh!!! So, so, so, grateful. There's no going back now ... and I can't WAIITTTTT!!!! BAHHHHHHH!!!!!
