Merwolf: they would have to be very multifaceted, so to speak. LADYHAWKE: they would have to breath in and out with each other...the chemistry has to be there LADYHAWKE: that is the film....the chemistry Moderator: Stacey says: "Missy, so much of what goes on with Dar and Kerry is internal, emotions and thoughts and other such struggles - how can you get that all across on film?" Merwolf: You have to depend on the restof the team... Merwolf: you provide the words and the setting... LADYHAWKE: yes tell me Missy......

LADYHAWKE: LOLLOLLOL....Mary you are evil.....doing what.....i will be directing the director no doubt and keeping Missy busy LADYHAWKE: oh thats right....how clumsy of me Moderator: Rohan says: "Missy, As in Llach's story, Tender is the Night, will YOU be on the set checking things out?"

Merwolf: only if I could be sucessful enough to replace my current job. Moderator: Mary Helen says: "Missy. So does this mean you are giving up computers for a full time career in writing?" Merwolf: a lot depends on how TS evolves. Merwolf: (laughing) Merwolf: Maybe. Llachlan: an oscar ought to help with that decision Merwolf: Where's that clue by four?' Llachlan: right here Moderator: Lynn says: "Dance Llachlan?" Merwolf: Llachlan says.. "no." Llachlan: Moderator: Idgie says: "Missy; Is this a life altering experience for you, and if so, how are you taking it?" Merwolf: Life altering?

Llachlan: I know I owe you a debt of gratitiude - you blew the door wide open Merwolf: someone had to go first.... it happened to be me. Merwolf: but what I hope is.... to be only the first, of many.

Moderator: Rohan says: "Debby, will the behind the scenes movie be available for the pups?" LADYHAWKE: yes...the behind the scenes movie is being made because of the pups....it a DVP/merwolf production Moderator: pooka says: "will the script be available for purchase after the filming" LADYHAWKE: yes... Merwolf: I think that means you get my view on what it's like to be involved in the thing.

Moderator: Rohan says: "Debby, as an independent film producer, do you feel that you will get a fair shot at the publicity and movie house interests?" LADYHAWKE: well the time table is up on the site...that will give you a pretty good idea as to what we are up to LADYHAWKE: again that is a distribution question, and that depends on the deal Moderator: EM says: "For Debby: If TS is a hit ... would you option other FF?" LADYHAWKE: yes...i am already do just that LADYHAWKE: and it will be a sucess Moderator: Idgie says: "Debby: How important is for distribution and financing purposes that you can show them the pups; a ready made audience."
