After coming home from a miserable showing at a weekend long Scrabble tournament, (yeah, yeah, I had fun anyway:) ) ... I got an email from documentary film maker Eric Chaikin that 5 of my stills of Scrabble champs will be used in his film, WORD WARS (I knew this was happening a couple of weeks ago but didnt know how many.) So, here I am at last with my name up on the screen in the credits. The best part is, this is a film that is one of 16 documentaries selected out of 500 entries to appear at the Sundance festival in January! I got a small amount of money out of this, but have to admit would have given Eric the prints for one time use regardless.
Pretty exciting (as my heart goes pitterpat that Robert Redford might read my name in the credits;) ) Eric is mailing me back the photos so I don't know which ones he selected yet, which gives me a tiny bit of anxiety. Anyone going to Park City in January? :) annsan
