Dear Kate Winslet...

Dear Kate,

You are truly one of the most gifted actresses on the screen today. I am a huge fan of your work. 'Heavenly Creatures' was very good, (i wrote a paper on it in college). 'Eternal Sunshine' is one of my favorite films of all time. 'The Reader' I still need to see, I hear it's good. But I don't need to see 'The Reader' to know that you deserve the Oscar this year. You are long overdue and I am so happy for you.

Actresses like you that are so gifted and so grounded are a rarety. You can do comedy, drama, romance and characters. You have proven your edge, your dedication to the craft, and your bravery by baring it all. Not many actors can do what you do, you make it seem so effortless. You can do no wrong.

I think Romantic Comedy would be perfect for you. I loved you in a comedic role and I want to see it again. I know I'm not alone in this. You should do a fun movie to make people laugh, but still has some emotion and character. Good roles for women are hard to come by (I here), but you will have your pick I'm sure. I just want to put it out there that I hope that you will consider mine, I can't imagine a more perfect project for you!

It's a timely market perfect story. It's a new twist on the romantic comedy and it could be really good. It's a classy and believable modern romance story. A nice balance to the gross-out and crude crap that seems to be everywhere. I'm so tired being dumbed down and grossed out and told that's comedy. Can you please show us what a classy comedy is again?

I wrote the script over a year and half ago. I tried to get it out there (as all new writers do) and in the process I think I may have let it get cannibalized by the media, bits and pieces of it are being stolen and used all over... SNL, Leno, and some ABC show I can't think of, but they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. My script is still intact and solid, and in the end it just goes to show that the market is ready for the story.

In conclusion:

You are awesome Kate, I would be so thrilled and honored if you would take on my project / script. I dream about winning an Oscar myself someday, but I hope to get it in writing!

Sincerely,
JT

Being Here

I sit at my desk and write.

I am writing a new screenplay, but my mind is consumed by the one that is already completed.

It's finally made it's way into the hands it should be in, and all I can do is wait.

Check it out, tell me what you think: www.nigerianletter.com

The new script I am working on is going to be "mind-blowing fun."

A 'tent-pole' film that pushes you to the psychological breaking point. I perfect fit for the market of today and tomorrow.

I better get back to writing...

Kate Winslet

I hope she wins; she's awesome and she deserves it.

--Eternal Sunshine is one of my favorite movies, and performances ever, brilliant.--
