About Me


Bostonola

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!!I know, I know...judging by the large numbers of big breasted women, beer companies, and porn stars that are our MySpace "friends" that you may think that we got into screenwriting for the free drinks and chicks. NOT TRUE! We have plenty of that anyway! OK, I 'm lying. We do indulge in our share of drinking, but we have to buy it ourselves. And big breasted women? Well I (Jeff) am engaged to a wonderfully large rack posing as my fiancee, and Steve, well, we'll say he's single and leave it at that.We, Jeff and Steve, met at Johnson & Wales University in 1998. As roommates, we were always subject to strange and unusual (but really fun and cool) things...meeting Robert Goulet, winning a costume contest at a basketball game (seriously, check out the PICS for proof!), Mardi Gras trips, dvd player mayhem and much more. So in winter of 2004, while unemployed and basking in the glow of the Red Sox victory, we decided to document our history together in the form of a screenplay. It was supposed to be a fun memoir of our friendship that we could pass on to our children (when they were old enough, fun comes with an R rating kiddies) and well, a few months later, we has 133 pages of sheer mayhem based on our real life experiences. That is the majesty of what we affectionatly have titled "Fat Tuesday".After letting some movie-frenzied friends read it, we discovered that we had created a monster, and we were told to pursue it as a motion picture. Well, here we are, on MySpace, the mecca of all things pop culture, and we're shopping a production company that may be interested in doing our movie. Any advice, professional or otherwise, is greatly appreciated. Tips are always accepted, and if you're rich, Steve swallows.We decided to call ourselves "Bostonola Enterprises" as a team. Bostonola comes from the marriage of the two cities we live near...Boston, MA for Jeff, and New Orleans, LA for Steve...hence BostoNOLA. Get it? Great, wanna cookie?mmm...cookies...anyway...We've set up a shop to sell merchandise and swag with the company logo on it. { www.cafepress.com/bostonola } This shop allows us to make a measly little profit and we take that profit and invest it directly into our screenwriting to fund our entry into screenwriting contests or perhsps we'll save enough to buy a dvd player that we can raffle off to make the film ourselves, who knows. Anywho, we're gonna be famous dammit...Matt and Ben have nothing on us...well, except an Oscar. And Ben banged J.Lo, but still, we're gonna be HUGE!Check back soon for our own line of hot sauce! if the screenplay doesn't blow your frickin' mind, the sauce will!
