Special Feature at RARWRITER.COM
"The RAR Movie"
MAKING MOVIES...
Over the next many editions, RARWRITER.com is presenting a journal of our experiences with exploring how "The RAR Movie" - a screenplay written by RARWRITER.com Publisher Rick Alan Rice and featuring 18 original compositions - might be brought to final production. Our intent is to explore the processes of film making to gain insights into the work and to gain the inputs of people who might have valuable insight into the challenges involved, including how some obstacles may be overcome.

One of the first people we contacted was New York City playwright Kyle Jarrow, (below left) who won an OBIE Award in 2004 for his humorously barbed and quite musical look at Scientology ("A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant"). Kyle also wrote the screenplay for Armless, a 2009 film that was presented at this year's Sundance Film Festival (2010). Other of his works include "Gorilla Man" and "Whisper House" (with Duncan Sheik), "Hypochondria", "Rip Me Open", "Hostage Song" (with playwright Clay McLeod Chapman), "President Harding is a Rock Star" and "Love Kills". Besides being a leading progressive playwright, Kyle is a songwriter (many of his theater works are musical) and a rock musician known for his popular bands The Fabulous Entourage and Super Mirage. He knows a great deal about script development, composing for stage and screen, and getting his projects produced. We provided him with a synopsis of our script and filled him in on the concept of the piece. Our question to Kyle - how to proceed?
With that introduction, perhaps the next step is to share the concept and casting ideas we have developed to get us all on the same page.
