William Morris Agency

Greetings!

As many of you know, I have further developed my memoir/book and I'm taking the story in a different direction. With that said, I've always loved the work of Richard Matheson who is considered to be America's best fantasy writer. His work includes several novels that have been produced for feature films. My favorites are "Somewhere In Time" starring Christopher Reeves and "What Dreams May Come" starring Robin Williams.

A master storyteller, Richard Matheson's writings of the psychic realm and reincarnation is riveting. I believe he would be a perfect co-writer for my book.

For a variety of reasons, work projects delayed my contacting Richard Matheson's agent at the William Morris Agency. The good news is, on Tuesday I sent my pitch along with a brief story synopsis and bio to his agent.

Now the waiting...

While I have produced documentarys and negotiated contracts with such agents as Kevin Huvane from ICM to hire actress Kate Capshaw for my Victoria Woodhull documentary - I have never retained the writing services of such a renowned author.

Needless to say, I'm very much looking forward to hearing about the possibility of working with Richard Matheson.

I'll keep you posted!

Interview with New York Times

Hello,

It's been awhile since I've last posted. While I've been particularly busy with my projects, I wanted to share my recent news.

About 3 weeks ago, I was interviewed by a journalist writing a story for The New York Times regarding my Zoie Cellular Cinema festival. The usual questions come up including the wonderful opportunity for filmmakers to use such a forum to create engaging content to be featured on "the small screen". In addition to myself, the journalist interviewed former Zoie Films festival winners.

Once I hear of the publication date, I'll let you know. It's my understanding the article will be syndicated to 400 other newspapers nationally.

enjoy your day,
Victoria
