Devil Water wakes the sloth.
Optical Sloth has just reviewed Devil Water #1.
"I'd say this has some serious potential, and Steven Barr has apparently been involved in all kinds of movies, so he should have the money to keep this going until the story plays out. "

I'd like to point out that it's a misconception that film people make tons of money. This is not a comment on Steven's bank account, but a general point that I'd like to make. There are a lot of people with money in Hollywood, but they are the bankers.
From the U.S. Department of Labor website....
"Median hourly earnings of actors were $11.28 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $7.75 and $30.76. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $6.63, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $56.48. Median annual earnings were $15.20 in performing arts companies and $9.27 in motion picture and video industries. Annual earnings data for actors were not available because of the wide variation in the number of hours worked by actors and the short-term nature of many jobs, which may last for 1 day or 1 week; it is extremely rare for actors to have guaranteed employment that exceeded 3 to 6 months."
"The average income that SAG members earn from acting—less than $5,000 a year—is low because employment is sporadic. Therefore, most actors must supplement their incomes by holding jobs in other occupations."
"Median annual earnings of salaried producers and directors were $52,840 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $35,550 and $87,980. Median annual earnings were $75,200 in motion picture and video industries and $43,890 in radio and television broadcasting."
Average income for an actor is LESS THAN $5,000 a year. Most IT Technicians make more than Producers or Directors. It's a big misconception that most of Hollywood is rich. Most people leave this place after 2-5 years. Personally I think the fantasy of Hollywood is part of what they use to sell it.
Still...I made less than $10k a year for a few years and loved every celluloid minute of it. I'm sick like that.
