Thankfully we get lots of requests for new pages. Well…the wife recently informed me that my way of collecting my requests was pretty weak. She seems to think that writing down requests on whatever piece of paper or napkin or bill that is currently on my desk is not the way to do it. So….since she is way smarter than me….I have decided to create a page just for requests. Plus it should give a good idea of what pages are coming down the pike.
My logic in picking which page to do next….I lean heavily towards the subject that has the most requests.

Hi Bruce,
I’m a fan of your Letterboxd reviews and would love for you to check out my directorial debut, What’s My Name Again?. It is a coming-of-age dramedy set in San Diego in 1985 and is loosely based on my father’s sordid upbringing. It’s currently available on Amazon Prime, Apple, Vudu and YouTube. I would love to send over a screener pending your interest. Thanks so much for the consideration and I hope all is well!
Logline: In 1985, a seemingly quintessential Southern California teen whose identity unravels as he’s forced to choose one of his 3 fathers’ last names before he turns 18. He must confront his sordid upbringing, and the role each disengaged father played in it, in order to decide who he is and where he’s headed.
Best,
Spener
