NEW ZEALAND 2008
Need I say more? When my plane touched down in Auckland this morning (Friday, April 11th here) I received a text message from Daniel Reeve (Lord of the Rings trilogy calligrapher) welcoming me to New Zealand. Can't get much sweeter than that! I called my Mom from the plane in Auckland. Our conversation went something like "Aaaahhh, New Zealand!!!" Safe and sound in Wellington now on the adventure of a lifetime!
Rachel has an A-list Hollywood Manager to represent her now. Very excited about it. Last week, she also met with a major studio (more news on that later), as well as auditioned for a movie. Many BIG things happening right now. Very cool!!
Hope to share it with you soon! Thanks for being patient!!
Once more with feeling! (come on you Buffy fans! LOL)
In 2004, the teenage filmmakers produced a three hour "Return of the King" parody, at ages 11 & 13, which debuted at ORC 2006, and was featured on TheOneRing.net. Winners of the "Dork of the Rings" film contest & ELF music video contest, M.A.R.S. has screened films at GenCon, Dragon*Con and produced documentaries of Dragon*Con and Starbase Indy, with interviews with various celebrities, such as Katee Sackhoff (Battlestar Galactica). With the popularity of their "Middle Earth Idols" music video, M.A.R.S. produced an extended version featuring the top 12 contestants, with celebrity guest judges Kiran Shah, Daniel Reeve, Dean Haglund, Grant Wilson and more. "Middle Earth Idols" premiered at ORC 2007 in Burbank, California. Andy Serkis was among the guests to watch the fan favorite encore performance of Gollum.

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages...
