Bloomington and Nashville

Hello Hello,
The last three days or so have been fun. I've had a good chance to write and get working on my new script. I'm 30 pages into my first draft. So hopefully I can keep that up. I may not get much of a chance, the festival is coming up fast.
I had a chance to see Marc Forsters new film, The Kit Runner, based on Khaled Hosseini's novel of the same name. It's not out until December, so it was a rare treat. It's an excellent movie, well worth checking out when it arrives. A very interesting choice for him in between Stranger Than Fiction and the next James Bond movie.
Today Maryann and I took a drive to Bloomington, a small college town outside Indy, a very nice place, kind of reminded me of the small town along the east coast of Australia. We had dinner with a friend of hers, Angelo Pizzo, who is the Writer and Producer of the films Hoosiers, Rudy and The Game of Their Lives.



It was really nice to meet him. He's a good guy. I liked him a lot. We talked about scripts, sports, writing, Ireland, Indiana and ideas for stories. So it was an enjoyable afternoon.
Then we took a trip into Nashville, not Tennesee, Nasville Indiana, which is a small tourist village. It was nice, quiet, quaint. Here are some pictures from there.
