Tricky Micky Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Been lying low lately, gotta move house - the new owners have kicked us out after 14 years - sigh! The rental market is nuts in Victoria and probably country wide TBH. In amongst all that I've been working with a mate of mine on a story we have been writing for about 13 years - hoping that one day it might be made into a docu-series. Finally a small break -through - got meetings in LA in the States with a top line production company - Our little story has been placed into development. Just a bit excited! I head off this evening for LA - then New York, onto Dallas, and then back to LA. If this thing gets green lit it'll be huge. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 At least one positive thing seems like it is going to happen. A secret exactly what you talking about until it is decided on? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the rental issue I sympathise as rental properties are scarce & also peaking at ridiculous prices these days. Adelaide is also extremely hard for those seeking a property. I hope it all goes well for you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmar92 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Sorry to hear of the house move @Tricky Micky, and yes the rental market Australia wide is absolutely crazy, we are just not building enough houses in Australia and hence there is a major deficiency on the supply side. Great news to hear that your story may get an airing, best of luck with your meetings in the States and looking forward to it going into production 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malter White Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 @Tricky Micky Great news on the production. Wishing you the best for it going forward. It seems like you're keeping your cards close to your chest but can you give us an idea what it's about without letting the cat out of the bag completely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Congrats on the story news. Hope it all goes your way. As for the rental market, It appears to be really bad everywhere. Renting a house costs nowadays a week what it was a month 25 years ago. Unfortunately, incomes have not quadrupled since then. Buying isn't much easier, although it seems that mortgage payments are less than rent. That is the odd thing. The banks tell people they can't afford the mortgage payments but at the same time, people are expected to pay more than that in rent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Dubbya, sorry for the mysteriousness on this - I've had to keep a lid on things as the 2 production companies involved (1 in Oz and one in LA) have asked the treatment/concept not be shared about. Which I've agreed to. But what I will say is that my visit to Dallas is the clue . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Micky Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 I started my journey on the 5th of May so these pics are a few days behind where I'm at currently. Flew into LA and stayed overnight out near the airport for a connecting flight next day to NY. First day - staying in Jersey City . Visited NYC and the WTC Ground Zero memorial. Emotional and overwhelming is how I'd describe the location and the monument. A bit numbing to be honest. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone boy Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Hey Mick, I’ve been lying low lately too, so missed the start of this. Sounds bloody exciting (the trip and docu-series, not the rental debacle)! I hope you have a safe and successful trip in the states and return home with some good news. Go well young fella 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
