Angelo Bell: First Impressions of the Lousy Kind
by Angelo Bell, Writer, Producer
Like most writers, I am a lousy at proofing my own work. I am far too familiar with it to realize that I’ve skipped a letter, or a word. Often my brain finishes sentences that are incomplete on the page. Like the old saying goes, “I do my best proofing after I’ve hit the send button.” Oops.
I had a wake up call today. I’ve been working with an EP who has consistently shown interest in a project that is destined for a bigger budget. I tried to keep the budget in the low seven figures range in order to keep myself attached as director. However, she rightfully acknowledged and suggested that I put aside that pipe dream, step into the producer’s arena and pump up the budget to mid-eight figures. As someone who’s been working with budget in the micro- and low-budget range, I didn’t require a lot of convincing.
The Dresden Files & The Dresden Files…Oh & More Dresden Files
We love THE DRESDEN FILES. Which version? Oh no, that would be telling.

For Christmas this year one of the books I got wasThe Dresden Files graphic novel, Welcome to the Jungle. By that point, I’d read all of the novels; but what got me into them was actually the TV show.
Another Thing Being in the WGA is Good For
Katherine Fugate! Josh Olson! Ooh, we feel like we know them (cuz, hey, LB does…which reminds us, why won’t you introduce us, Guv?)
Anyway, this looks like a very worthwhile activity. Looking forward to seeing you there.
RIP Gerry Day
Gerry Day was one of the greats of television writing, with a career that spanned almost the entire existence of the TV industry. Almost all of us writing and reading this have seen something she wrote – because she wrote a helluva lot and it was all good stuff.
Most television sites on the web have overlooked Gerry’s passing. Stephen Bowie’s Classic TV History Blog did not, and for that we should all be glad:
