JCC? no, NRP

Went to Paris to meet with JCC. Was unable to see him, but we spoke and had a brief correspondence. Very useful but we will definitely not be working together. Wrong man for the job. Have drafted another writer, he's brilliant, low profile and a great guy - a far better match! He will doubtless push the film in new directions and I'm really excited to have him on board.

Spoke to JCC this morning! Very excited.

Positive talks with JCC's agent.

Received a catalog in the mail with a nice Picasso quote: “Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.” Unfortunately the catalog lacked that vital act of destruction.

I have sent my script draft, along with the items below, to a screenwriter that I hope to collaborate with on future drafts. Should he accept my proposal it should make financing simpler. It will also require greater and more immediate development financing. Fingers crossed, moving on to the next stage.
