Jeremy's Interaction
"I'm about to start a new film next week that shoots in Oregon
that is called The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang. It's a lot of the
same people from Napoleon Dynamite and its a hilarious script!
I think you all will enjoy it and will be quoting lines from the
movie. I'm also looking at some other film scripts that look pretty
good and when I decide something, I'll let you know."
