Just a quick update: Still taking meetings with outside parties who may finance the film. These meetings usually involve people from Weinstein Company, Jim Henson Company, and my company, all sitting around a table big enough to play hockey on, at which point I pull out lots of artwork and talk my butt off for about twenty minutes while the smiling studio exec nods. <\/span><\/p>\n

Just had another good meeting last Monday. Friends always ask, “How’d the meeting go?” Here’s the thing: they’re all good meetings. I take good meetings. It’s one of my strengths. Everyone is always ecstatic and laughs at my jokes and loves Fraggles and tells me I was born to make this movie and they’d love to be in business. But good meetings don’t really mean much.

However, while I am so very, very tired of the way this town does business, I remain optimistic. And I’ll let you know if I hear anything else.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
