Impressive - LA Weekly's Theatre Pick of the Week

"I saw the play and was impressed. It has been extended. It stars one of our clients, Marissa Lukens. See it before it closes - it's certainly different from what you may expect." :-) -- Rock

A few THANK YOU's are in order

For the producers, directors, photographers, and reporters who came out to Covina a few weeks back to see me in the Main Event at the Empire Wrestling Federation pro wrestling event, Thank You. And, especially for our clients who came out . . . I really appreciate you being there. THANK YOU!

I was pleasantly surprised to be called out of the dressing room several times to meet with photographers and reporters. It turned out to be a really good event that raised a fair amount of money for the Autism charity. I plan to do another match for them in June or July.

And Vegas . . .

The Finale: An 8+ foot drop directly onto my back on a non-padded floor! (Try it!)

What a great experience!

At least eight of you came out to be a part of the April 15 Annual Casino Royale 55-Man Over-the-Top-Rope Pro Wrestling Event in Las Vegas. Several producer friends also attended. And, yes, the photo above shows me about to plummet 8+ feet to a non-padded floor, hitting on my back. I'm waiting to see video. Those of you who were there and witnessed it live . . . well, you saw something unique. I think it may put me in the running for the "WOW Moment of the Year 2013" pro wrestling award.

There were many on-camera interviews during the annual 3-day event. The press took thousands of photographs. As those interviews, stories, and photos are published and brought to my attention, I'll be happy to share them with you. I will also be part of another on-going documentary about the pro wrestling business entitled "At What Cost?" I did two interviews with them totalling over one hour.

For those of you who came to Vegas, Thank you! For those of you who missed it, I plan to do it again next year!

The Rock vs. The Rock

We never know who we will meet or where it will lead. One thing's certain: You won't meet anyone sitting home. So the moral of this story is "Network!"

On Wednesday I walked into a meeting room to find Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's mother, Ata, concluding an interview. "You are aware," I said to her with a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye, "that I was the Rock before the Rock was the Rock. I was the Rock before your boy Dwayne was the Rock." Ata stopped me. "I want to video this and send it to Dwayne," she said. That video is on my Facebook page. It's about a minute long, it's quite good for a total improv, and it very well may open another gigantic door for us and YOU, our wonderful clients.

If any of our clients are not already friends on Facebook, send me a friend request AND a message, and you'll be able to see that private video shortly thereafter.

Misc.

By the Way, Dwayne is scheduled for abdominal surgery for the injuries he sustained in his pro wrestling match at Wrestlemania earlier this month. 80,000+ people watched it in person and many tens of millions watched it on pay-per-view. It may prove to be Dwayne's last professional wrestling match - but I doubt it; wrestling's too deeply entrenched in his blood. :-)

Your weekly report is here.

A few dozen new events have been added to our Calendar of Events. Take a look and check the page often, please.

We'll be producing another seminar and networking event this Sunday at noon. We are awaiting confirmation from two active film producers and will officially announce them here as soon as they confirm.

I'll have much more for you in the next newsletter - scheduled for later this week. Until then . . .

Notice who's in the audience? Thanks to all who attended!

All the Best!
