October, 1997: ALACK! We didn't make it to San Francisco or to L.A.'s Coorsfest, but . . . not to worry, this tape version was just a prelude to filming Smoochers! We hope to re-shoot Smoochers on videotape in early 1998, and then, if all goes well, we shall shoot on 16mm. Yes, it's slow, but all of the venture capital in Hollywood is currently tied up in Cameron's Titanicdisaster.

March 20, 1997 e.v. -- Fans of Ryan Phillippe and/or Bruce Weber: rejoice! Interview has contacted us and we will soon be signing the paperwork to use Bruce Weber's sizzling Valentine's Day picture of Ryan in Smoochers. If we're very nice to them, they may let us post it here officially. (If that doesn't quadruple the number of hits on this page, nothing will!)

May 22, 1997: Actually, it MORE than quadrupled our hits. Ryan's pic fell off of the wall and onto Jason's bed, so here's a still of what Ryan looks like on some other guy's bed (please excuse our wicked innuendo):

April 21, 1997: Here's a big THANK YOU! to all of those who have kept inquiring about the status of Smoochers, our sad tale of thwarted teen lust . . . er . . . romance . . . OKAY! . . . Smooching! A pending film project is slowing down work (as is the miserable humidity here in Gollywood), but we continue to plod along. We still await word from the Festivals. (We're also working {slowly} on the blasted insurance. Yeccch!)

• "Smoochers" factoid: The title has precious little to do with sex; rather, it's a direct quote from that all-time classic role-model of low-budget filmmaking, Attack of the Eye Monsters.

Encouragement to the producer to get publicity materials for SMOOCHERS printed is welcomed. Failure to assist may result in a visit from the one responsible for all of this -- Dr. Yawneb:
