A Movie?

Yesterday afternoon, I met with a group of very nice people who might very well be interested in turning my short story, THE OLD COOT, into a 10-12 minute movie, then entering it into film festivals.
THE OLD COOT is one of the six stories in my forthcoming book, DRACULA MEETS JACK THE RIPPER And Other Revisionist Histories, which should be shipping in about 2 weeks.
These people liked the story very much and are now going to determine if it is financially feasible for them to proceed with it.
I, of course, would script the short and also direct.
One of the "problems" is that this is a period piece, set in Indianapolis in 1914. Period pieces require an extra expense, so we shall see what we shall see,
There's no real money in shorts. Hopefully, you break even, but it would be nice to, at least once in my life, see one of my scripts done my way.
Now, I'm off to see the doctor and get the results of last week's medical procedure.
Fingers crossed.
Have a creative day.
Michael
