Came up with an idea for a Heinz Ketchup commercial contest this morning. The trouble is that the deadline’s tonight at 11pm central. Oh well. I think I can possibly shoot it by tonight but even if I don’t get it done by the deadline I might still make it anyway. Originally when I was told about the contest I thought it was cool, but I had come to the conclusion that it wasn’t worth the time unless the idea was awesome and had some other payout besides the $57,000 which is cool but the odds that my spot would be what they picked would be another story. So anyway things changed this morning when the idea popped into my head and I want to do it for myself but also do it as a comedy video that we can put on the Lakeshore site if it has the viral legs that I think it does. I’ll let the concept speak for itself and if I don’t get it produced today I’ll pass along the spoilers but lets keep our fingers crossed. We’ll need some extra luck because Kate Henley who was going to be the actress was in a car accident and couldn’t make it to the office to shoot this morning. Maybe she’ll come by in the afternoon or my back up actress could work. It’s a very specific kind of character. Anyway, more soon, including updates on Neil Hamburger, Louis CK, Carol Leifer and the SHOW. Stay tuned.

Heather Meibach has agreed to host a series of segments for the Lakeshore Theater project and also act in some top secret scenes for the “big” project just getting underway. Come check her out at the Lakeshore and give her an interview after one of the shows this weekend.

Heather came to us through VFV friend Dustin White who is a great stand-up who appeared in Pitchman II. Heather’s first big interview will be Monday with Ron Jeremy, looking forward to it. A lot of work going on behind the scenes to develop new content for the theater so wish us luck and keep in touch.

Been shooting clips for the Lakeshore for a month now and even though they have yet to be introduced on their website I’m happy to announce that we’ve began posting clips on the ViralFilmVideo YouTube page So check them out and let us know what you think. As the re-launch for the Lakeshore site gets closer the goal is to have videos not only to promote the upcoming shows but also to archive previous shows. Scott Feingold has been a great find as a host of the Lakeshore Theater Minute and keeps getting better.
