What is your project?

I plan to shoot a feature film this winter. It will be another intimate, character-driven story. The premise is two 60-something New Yorkers meet for a blind date, right around Christmas time.

If it ends up making more sense to set it in LA, I will be fine with that. But for now, I’m setting it in NYC.

I’m writing the script for an actress named Renee Props. I saw her in an episode of Seinfeld (she played Jerry’s girlfriend, “Lois,” in a story that referenced Superman, with Jerry engaging in a foot race with a high school classmate). I found her appealing and looked for her name in the credits and realized I have a friend who knows her. We are now in touch and she’s been reading script pages when I send them.

I don’t know who I will cast opposite her, but I love Griffin Dunne and he’s my dream. These things almost never work out. But he and Renee are my inspiration as I write the script.

Can we see some photos?
