Welcome to the EvenHand Journal. The early stages of pre-production being what they are, today is the closest we’ll get to a day we can formally define as Day One, so here we go.

First, here’s some brief background information on EvenHand. I met a fellow producer, René Bastian, at a party a couple of years ago. We got to talking about projects and people, and he mentioned that he had a script that he thought I would like. The script was called Uncertain, Texas. I liked it and eventually met the writer, Mike Jones. He asked if I would be interested in seeing another script he wrote, EvenHand. I read it and loved it. Mike and I corresponded off-and-on via e-mail for the next year and a half about the script. I would send him notes, which after discussion always resulted in a new and improved draft of the screenplay. Finally, towards the end of post-production on Cherry, I felt the script was good enough to show to my partner, Jon. Jon shared my enthusiasm for Mike’s work and we agreed that EvenHand should be our next project.
