#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!!!!!

#TNTML Movie Update: Signing #LifeRights!!

DUDESSSSSSSS!!! So this morning, I am going to my new uber lawyer in Beverly Hills, to sign away my life ... literally. See, even though the movie isn't really my life story ... like 99.999999% of it did happen to me. However again, it is just an idea that I had for a webseries that hollyhood totally took and turned into a movie, and appropriately named it "Talk Nerdy To Me, Lover." Totally rad, I'm totally going partially spastic.

 

 

Either way, life rights are pretty cool ... we're incorporating it with our deal in the script to ensure that no big wiggie studio peeps, or uber producers can just take our idea and run with it. We own this, yo! Cause I like lived it ... and uh, it's mine ... and uh, you can't have it!!! =) So, today is a big day. I'm uber, uber, uberrrrrr stoked!!! ... and again, can't thank you ALL for coming along this journey with me. This is such a trip. Hope you packed yer baggsssss!!!!!! =) =) =)

#ShitGotReal - Reading over life rights

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!!!!!

 

Dudessss!!! I just got my life rights emailed over to me. Like literally, tonight ... at midnight ... to say we are hauling ass, is an understatement. Looky, looky!!

 

 

 

 

Yeah ... CRAZYYYYYYY shit!!!  This week is going to be NUTS!!!! It is going to be officially announced in all the trades, our director can officially be announced ... like for reals, and ummm ... yeah ... this is life changing. Literally, I'm signing the rights saying THIS CHANGES YOUR LIFE. BAHHH!!!!!!

 

 

Can't thank you all enough. Again, even though they did take my idea and turn it into a movie, I still own this site and the brand outright. NO ONE can take this from us. I gave up everything I owned, was temporarily homeless living off of corporate sponsors, and am now - pretty set for like ever and ever ... so, these uber hollyhood peeps can't buy us. Dude, my dad is a lawyer, and mama didn't raise no fool. I assure you - we're still good. But either way, this is a really big deal, and since you all did this for me ... I need to give back to you (as the more you give, the MOREEEEE you get). So, I kid you not when I say, please drop me an email JenFriel@talknerdytomelover.com and let me know what I can do for you. The uber vulturie peeps are going to be looking at us from this point on, so let's make the most of this!!!

#TNTML Movie Update: Congrats @bryceless!!!

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!!!!!

 

DUDES! I just got the most awesomest of awesomely awesome calls today from the writer of the #TNTML film @bryceless. He directed a really gnarly documentary called Exxxit: Life after porn, and DUUDDESS it just got accepted into this big film festival, and now is automatically a contender for the ACADEMY AWARDS!!!!!

 

What's even MORE awesome about this too, is that I KNOOOWWWWW the people at the Academy will actually WATCH his film - and since it's good ... omg omg omg ... I'm just so excited. See, I used to work in movie marketing for 2 years. Love, love, LOVED it, and my boss was a member of the Academy. I actually had to create a spreadsheet for him and document all of his screeners, and dudeee ... the name alone "Exxxit: Life after porn" will TOTALLYYY get people to watch it!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! 

 

Here is Kevin Pollak talking about it ...

 

 

And here it is featured on Nightline ...

 

 

So ... yeah, good stuff!!! HAHAHAHA I can't wait until I can publish the synopsis, dude - talk about talent to go from directing that, to writing our film?? #Brilliant

 

Congrats, Bryce!!!!!
