Watch out for Dana
Hearty congrats to Dana Fox, who shows up in Variety’s Ten Screenwriters to Watch feature this morning. Dana was my assistant between Rawson and Chad, and has worked steadily since. Her latest script, What Happens in Vegas, goes into production soon.
In the picture which accompanies the article, you can see her with the SafeType vertical keyboard which looks like a joke but has saved both of our wrists. If conventional ergonomic keyboards aren’t working for you, the SafeType might be worth a try.

I loved The Wedding Date! I can’t wait to see her next movie!

So, how does it feel to be classed as “writer-director John August”?

Great… I tried to turn my keyboard into the contraption Dana uses and now I broke it !

Dana looks even more beautiful and special when using her Safetype. I think it was made strictly for kind and lovely geniuses like John and Dana.

Enough about Dana, tell me more about Kelly Fremon! Va-va-va-voom! I thought screenwriters were supposed to be bald guys who… nevermind.
But seriously, it’s great that Dana’s career is picking up steam. When you work with someone like her, do you get a feeling like “yeah, this one is going to be successful?” Is that why you hire them in the first place?

Good going Dana. I’m wondering how many of your other assistants were converted to SafeTypers under August tutelage.

John, all your assistants seem to go on to do big things.
Do you have any need for someone who is completely useless?
Consider this my application for employment.
I am crass, crude, unfiltered - and a delight to be around.
Thank you for your consideration.
