But sometimes you get what you need – came on the radio in standstill rush hour traffic. I was belt singing along, happy as a clam until I noticed my cheeks were wet. Wow – so I really am a girl after all! I had actual tears of joy streaming down my face. Today I feel like I’ve given birth to my firstborn – and without some messy baby with which to contend – score! Read the rest of this entry »
You Can’t Always Get What You Want…

Return to Dragon*Con!
Posted in Diary of a Directrix, On the Fest CircuitSeptember 7th, 2009 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
Wow, so they say you never forget your first and I gotta agree. Dragon*Con was my first convention 6 years ago and in some ways my first festival experience as a “serious” director. Okay, maybe serious isn’t exactly the word, but when I kicked off the fest tour for Teenage Bikini Vampire, it was with a new understanding that this was no longer just to be a “hobby.” It was a life-force. I’d found my calling as a musical romantic horror comedy writer-directrix and there was no turning back

Color Correction!

I’ve been waiting for this moment so long – picture locked and the luxury of putting the film in somebody else’s expert care. It felt too good to be back at Riot, sorry, it’s Company 3 now. They did color correction on Death in Charge and Meat is Murder. I so love this process. It’s too much fun. Read the rest of this entry »
How NOT to Take a Meeting…
Posted in Diary of a DirectrixAugust 12th, 2009 by Devi Snively (The Directrix)
During the whirlwind of FanTasia and Comic-Con (see previous blogs for details), I got a promising phone call from the production company of a pretty major showrunner. Just before taking off I’d sent out a few query letters for my spec pilot My Gay Black Husband. Apparently he was intrigued and wanted to meet to discuss it. Cool. Read the rest of this entry »
