Screening and such
On Saturday, Karen's good friend Caitlin and her mom arrived. We spent a busy-busy couple of days shopping for apartmenty things for both of us and GETTING an apartment (across the street from mine <.g>) for Caitlin. They were camped out on my living room floor, which was fun as otherwise I'd be staying alone (the boys haven't moved in yet). I've never lived alone, ever, and it's weird. Heh. So that was good times.
Caitlin met with a producer she'd met previously, who's going to find her work. And he invited her (and, by default, me) to the private screening of his newest movie. Which was last night, at the LA Film School on Sunset.
We parked in the parking garage with a Hollywood legend. He couldn't find the stairs and walked down the ramp, instead. Hee. We watched the film, which was still very much a work in progress. They hadn't chosen the music, so had music that was the type of thing they wanted to use, instead. The color correction hadn't been completed, the sound was sometimes off, and the editing was still a bit choppy. In spite of that all, it was very, very good! The characters were wonderful, the acting was spectacular, and the story was engaging.
Afterwards, we were standing around talking when who walked up to the Producer but LOU EFFING PEARLMAN. Slimey slug of a man. *shudder* I'm not convinced he actually saw the movie. I got a feeling he'd come for the very end, just to show the Producer he'd been there, and to make sure the Producer would be at an event Lou runs every year (which is where Caitlin met the Producer, as he goes as a favor to a friend of his). Yuck, yuck, yuck.
And that was my first Hollywood experience. *laugh* Quite a lot of fun, and much less intimidating than I'd imagined.
