I left my heart in Bollywood

Okay, this came out of nowhere, but I had to share it with you. I was contacted out of the blue by a somewhat infamous Bollywood director who is working on an avant garde film project. He had actually seen one of my plays a very long time ago (I won't even get into the implausibility of someone remembering a play from that long ago AND remembering the name of the author). Anyway, the play is one that Christie probably knows because she actually performed it with me during Forensics. It's called "Girls" and it is about a man who has undergone an experimental treatment to cure violent tendencies (he just happened to be a child abuser in prison for multiple crimes of that nature). Anyway, once cured, he is being released after his time has been completed in prison. One of his young victims decides that he never got the justice he deserved so tracks him down, picks him up in a bar, and plans to finish him off to pay him back for the secluded life she left him with, where she has been scared of interacting with other people for the last twenty years. Anyway, dark subject....

So, I was asked if I could turn this play into a screen play for a short bit in a larger Bollywood film. So, I did. And now it's in their hands. Because it's one of those experimental projects, I'll probably get mostly screen credit as payment, but it was something that took me a few hours, so it's not like there's a big loss.

Anyway, just thought I would share that now I'm going to be a big Bollywood writer. hehe
