Katee Sackhoff is "Most Searched"

Katee Sackhoff, of Battlestar Galactica and the apparently defunct Bionic Woman, showed up on Yahoo's "Most searched for celeb's" today. Kind of weird, considering all of the actresses that are usually on that list (women like Angelina Jolie, Lindsay Lohan, Scarlett Johansson, et al.), but I guess this is supposed to be TV specific?

I don't know, I thought it was kind of cool. I've been wanting to work with her ever since I started watching Battlestar. I think she's a phenomenal actress, who's ability to physically emote is just beyond anything else I've seen in most actresses. She's definitely under appreciated, in my opinion, and, often times, put into roles that don't really match up with her talent.

Wishing and Hoping

So, current news on The Definers is this - I attended a meeting the other day to go over the grant application that I will be turning in at the beginning of June (it seems so far away, but, I know it's gonna sneak up on me). Bryan Poyser, of the Austin Film Society, hosted it, and it was basically just a chance to look at the application, go over the rules and requirements, and ask any questions one might have.

Also, I had sent Greta Gerwig a copy of the script a few weeks ago, but I think she lost it, because she asked me to re-send it to her. She will be in the process of reading it, soon, and deciding if it is something she would be interested in doing. If she did, that would be SO AMAZING. I think she would bring the perfect mix of subtlety, ferocity, angst, loneliness, and confusion that the role of the Sister demands.

When I had originally envisioned the film, I saw Katee Sackhoff in the role of the Sister, but I think Greta might be able to better bring to this character some of the paradoxical nature that the Sister needs. So, here's hoping she likes the script, and we can work it out. The only thing I need now is MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!
