It’s official
|
I have been waiting THREE YEARS to announce this, and here goes: Showtime Television has optioned RENT GIRL, by Michelle Tea and myself. The show will be Exec. Produced by Tony Jonas (Queer As Folk) and written by Shawn Schepps (Weeds, Drumline). Our roles are not set in stone yet, however Michelle and I will both be producers. Come to SDCC, and I will be on Dan Evans “Comics in Hollywood” panel, spilling all the dirt. Ok, not really, but I will def. be wearing a cute dress. (Edited to add - the official panel name is “The Pitching Hour”, and the date and time is Sat at 6pm. I know, crappy spot, but, hey, I get to hang out with Dan for an hour! WIN!) HOLLYWOOD, BITCHES!

[…] Showtime is developing Michelle Tea’s semi-autobiographical indie comic RENT GIRL, a story of lesbian prostitutes in SF’s Mission District. Michelle and artist Lauren McCubbin will get producer credits, while Tony Jones (Queer as Folk) exec produces and Shawn Schapps writes. I expect this will be good. More details at Comic-Con, glad to hear it! […]
