Support Jimmy Ganootz
My buddy Michael Lipoma’s screenplay The Lost Notebooks of Jimmy Ganootz, Culinary Secrets of a Wise Guy on the Run is one of four finalists trying to win the People’s Choice Award for Favorite Movie Pitch. The prize is a series of meetings with producers of films similar to the winner. This could be Michael’s big break. Michael and I took writing classes together & I know he’s a terrific writer. His work is imaginative & funny as hell. Michael’s is clearly the best pitch; however, these kinds of contests go to the person garnering the most votes. Voting ends Monday. Please support Michael. Thanks.
