"Rainwater Takes on SUGAR"
Taken from InkTip.com:
Rainwater Takes on "Sugar" - Sep 9, 2010
Rotimi Rainwater with Village Entertainment is collaborating on yet another project, this one titled "Sugar," with writer Tony Aloupis whom he met through InkTip. You might remember reading about them in the trades, Rotimi originally discovered and optioned one of Aloupis' scripts on InkTip titled "Truckstop." He's been developing and packaging the project with Graham Taylor at Endeavor Independent handling financing and distribution. Rotimi has since put together or gotten hired on to a number of different projects with Tony, including "The Meaning of Life," a documentary about the eponymous philosophical conundrum, "Conversations with Andy," a documentary/biopic about the life of Andy Warhol, and "Black Samurai," a reworking of the 1970's graphic novel, and blaxploitation film of the same name. Tony Aloupis is also serving as an Executive Producer on "The Meaning of Life," proving that directors can not only find scripts, but writers and partners through InkTip.
Marshall Allman
Here's a shot of Marshall Allman, taken by Mr. Rainwater in Hollywood.You may know Marshall from a little show called TRUE BLOOD. That's right. He's big time. And I'm stoked because the finale is on tonight! I will wait all day to see whether his character, Tommy Mickens hauls off and shoots/stabs/beats or ______ (insert your favorite word of malice here) Sam - or Jessica - or Hoyt. You can feel it in the air. He's going to do SOMETHING!
Lunch with Alex Meraz: Rotimi turns the tables on the Paparazzi
Geez, can you not have a panini without the paps on your tail?!
Anyway... what you might not know is that he was having lunch with Rotimi Rainwater... to discuss "Sugar" among other things (like "Four to the Floor" - another project Alex is working on with Mr. Rainwater.)And what I found so totally cool is that Rotimi turned the tables on the paparazzi and took their photos. Who would think to do that?! I love how his brain works. He's so visual.
Shenae Grimes
Check out this photo Mr. Rainwater took of Shenae Grimes while they were out at lunch one day. How cute is she?? And I'm so glad to see I'm not the only only one who can't live without my Blackberry.
