Marshall Allman will be playing the part of Don Miller in the movie Blue Like Jazz. Marshall got his break in the movie Hostage with Bruce Willis, then had a recurring role on Prison Break before appearing in a few episodes of Mad Men. Now he has a recurring role on HBO’s True Blood. Marshall read the script a couple years ago and called Steve Taylor to tell him to stop looking for his lead character. Steve rolled his eyes until he watched Marshall’s body of work. He’s an amazing actor, and I’m glad we got him. Thank You From Marshall Allman from Save Blue Like Jazz on Vimeo. This campaign is making history. If we get over $200k we will be the largest project ever funded on Kickstarter. If you haven’t donated, donate today.

Families of the trapped men have set up camps around the rescue effort, cooking food that is sent down in small tubes through tiny shafts drilled for supplies.

The news report said the men have bonded in their time together, and a brotherhood has been created amongst the workers. It reminded me of that age-old truth in narrative, that character is only molded in conflict, and if you want your characters to [...]
