In about twenty minutes I'll be sitting down with Matt, the producer, at the 'backlot cafe' in Universal - I keep shifting from feeling anxious, to un-prepared, to clear-minded and anywhere in-between.

This is my first face to face with a producer, let alone a producer who has shown high interest in 'Pedal' - to be perfectly honest, I've been a bit uneasy the last several days. Going over different scenarios and conversations in my mind. People seem to keep giving the advice, "just be confident - don't look unsure", but I'm torn between: knowing exactly what I want for 'Pedal', and trying to figure exactly what I need to keep Matt's interest.

If I'm lucky they'll be one in the same.


At the moment - while I'm typing this - I feel 100% comfortable... maybe 90% comfortable, all the same I'm excited to shake Matt's hand and hear what he has to say about the film. I'm, inside my head, jumping up and down at the thought of spilling my guts on every idea and expectation I have for 'Pedal'.


A part of me wishes I could just type in 'project pedal dot com' and read the next several posts ahead of this one. Peek ahead; to the outcome of our meeting, will it go smoothly? Will it end abruptly before either of us gets a full chance to go into the things we hoped to go into? Will this be the start of a strong and healthy working-friendship? Or simply a business opportunity?

It's time for me to leave. Wish me luck.
