Why has there been less content on The New Potato lately? Well Potatoheads we’ll put it simply: We’re making a movie. Laura wrote it and will be directing it, we’re both acting in it, and The New Potato Studios is the production company. Exciting stuff right?
Do you remember our new mission statement back in September? All about quality over quantity, and doing art of substance in this world of far too much noise and quick content? Well: Part of that journey turned into sitting down and writing an 80-page comedic film feature script that we’ll be shooting this June, and submitting to festivals for 2019. Stephanie March (When she’s not playing Our Favorite Person In Real Life, you can catch her as the legendary Alexandra Cabot on Law & Order SVU) is Executive Producer with us, and will be starring in it. Whoop whoop!
Comment if you love movies, because we’ll be taking you on this journey with us. I mean, you wouldn’t buy a skirt without asking your friends first if it looks good on you, would you? Exactly.
This is awesome! Do you need extras?
Do we get to see the progress? That would be so much fun!
Hey Alecia! Yes! We will be trying to keep you guys updated on what’s going on, once a week ideally depending on how crazy things get 🙂 Thanks for coming on this journey with us! More clues to come next week!
Love this! Love The New Potato and following the journey. Can’t wait to see this!
When do we get to see this””
Can’t wait. Love movies. Know many scrip writers also documentary filmmakers. So looking forward . Good luck
I just did a comment , not going to do twice
Great!!! Keep up the good work.
Awesome!!! Go ahead!
I am excited for you guys on this endeavour!!
Hi. I love the whole process and art that is filmmaking. Very interested!
sounds great, and yes, I love movies!
great-looking forward to seeing it.
Cheers!
I’m down to pitch in wherever.
Terrific……and best to you all!!! .by the way…are you casting any roles for a dynamic, attractive, very funny not-so-retired Black american actress? I starred in a huge film hit in the 80’s, and recently shot a cameo in the series based on the original movie…just wondering….=)
Love movies and looking forward to hearing all about this one! Super excited Stephanie March will be starring in it. When I’m not watching movies, I’m watching SVU:-)
Awesome guys!! Keep us posted on the progress…
I think this is going to be a lot of fun. I love movies. Hey! I can be an extra, if you need.
As a film buff, I’m so excited to see you chart your progress from pre-production to the movie’s premiere. I hope you take us along every step of the way! It will be so fascinating to watch your process. Behind the scenes work is just as interesting to me as the what goes on in front of the camera. This is so cool, Danielle, Laura and Stephanie! Break a leg! I can’t wait to see the finished film!
I love that you are all making a movie! Can I PA or be an extra? I am transitioning careers into working in film. In any case, this is all very exciting news!
I love movies. And I love Stephanie March. This is great.
Great news and so exciting! Love SVU so these two combined will be great! Hope I get to see it. Good luck!
That’s wonderful. Let me know if you need extras, actors or any film makers. I have experience.
Good luck! Where will you be filming? Do you need extras?
Do you need background casting? Our office does BG casting.
These are always fun and exciting…We’re in the same show biz corner it seems. I wish you success, and hope you’ll consider giving me a call.!
