The dates are locked in for filming Episodes 1 & 2 of “The Body.” It was a bit of hit-and-miss, as schedules were difficult to align for an 8-day shooting block. But we’ll be starting on July 6, 2025, and going through July 13. I’m happy to be going straight…

Illness: Part 2, and More
I’m finally over the mega-cold I had in France. Just in time to get surgery for basal-cell carcinoma on my face! Now, from what I’m told, if you’ve gotta have cancer, this is the kind you want. It’s non-aggressive and almost never spreads. That seems to be the case here,…
France, Vacations, and Illness
I just got back from a “vacation” to France. My wife and I visited our new grandsons, who live in a Paris suburb. I hadn’t yet met them in real life, and was greatly looking forward to the trip. But this was one of those “life throws you curveballs” moment….
Season 1, Episode 2
Scripting is going very well for Episode 2, Season 1 of “The Body”. Some really interesting stuff is coming out of my brain on this one. The story is taking directions I didn’t expect. This can seem strange to non-writers (and even non-fiction writers), as it would appear obvious that…

RIP, David Lynch
I loved “Twin Peaks” when it first came out in the 1990s. It was like nothing that had ever been on TV before (or since). We were seeing something new, and that’s the hardest thing to do: creating something original, something unique, something surprising at all times. That’s what David…
Location, Location, Location…
Casting continues. I’ve done a bunch of virtual auditions over the last week or so. There is some real serious acting talent in the DMV, and I’ve only scratched the surface. I’ve been completely impressed with the actors. It gets me excited about what we can do. One of my…
Casting Call
I’ve started casting for “The Body.” I’m just listing the key roles for the first episode now. More calls will be coming. These are crucial parts, so I’m taking my time to ensure I find the right actors. It’s a long process, but will be worth it. The listing is…

If this looks like a placeholder, there’s a reason. More to come — promise.
