THAT'S A WRAP

LegalDispatch 0.19

On Wednesday night, we wrapped production on the pilot for our LA Law sequel series. Appropriately, the final shot was of a car trunk slamming down to reveal a California license plate which says, “LA Law” as in the original show.

This has been the most remarkable experience with one of the finest cast and crews I’ve ever had the good fortune to work with. I like to think that instead of doing a pilot, we just shot the 173rd episode of LA Law. Hopefully, we’ll get to do a 174th and maybe more.

PROJECT ARTERY

This morning, we had one of our virtual crew meetings for Project Artery, which included an animatic of the first two (amazing) minutes. Yes, I said animatic — this project is an animated movie and I hope to be able to tell you more about it in the coming months.

UPCOMING

While we were filming LA Law, I wrote two scripts for two different comic book projects, including the fifth and final (for the time being) issue of PROJECT CRACKERJACK.

Now that we’re wrapped, I’m re-engaging with the world, returning phone calls and digging out from under a blizzard of emails. I’m also resuming work on a variety of projects including PROJECT MARBLE and PROJECT MONARCH.

Lots of irons in the fire. The next couple of months are going to be busy…

SUBSTACK APP

You may or may not have heard, but Substack recently launched a new app for reading any Substack newsletters you subscribe to. I’ve personally found it to be quite useful and effortless. The bad news is that it’s only available for iOS, but if you’re an Android user, you can join the waitlist here.

And that’s all from me for this week.

Be good to each other.

Best,
