Attention rabid fans and technology buffs:

Are you just so excited about Blue Like Jazz the Movie that you want to shout it from the rooftops?  While we can’t provide literal rooftops from which you can shout, we are accepting virtual outpourings of love from YOU, our favorite fans.

Here’s the deal:  a lot of people are asking “Why are you making a Blue Like Jazz movie?  How is that going to work?”  We thought the best way to answer that question would be to let you answer it.

So how do you do it?  It’s simple!

1) Record a video of yourself explaining why you love Blue Like Jazz (the book), Donald Miller (the author), Steve Taylor (the director) and (most importantly) why you are so excited about the movie.

2) Submit it to our Vimeo group here.

3) Tell your friends to do the same!

As a part of our efforts to raise money for the film and ensure that we’re developing a screenplay that works for the multitude of constituencies that are required to make a film successful (e.g. fans of Blue Like Jazz and Don Miller, investors, grassroots organizations, studios, the prospective audience, etc.), we’ve asked a number of folks if they would read the screenplay and provide feedback. We know many of you care deeply about how » » Keep Reading

It’s been four months since I joined Facebook.

Like this blog, it was done at management’s insistence – they’re convinced it will be important for the Blue Like Jazz movie’s “future cross-promotional efforts,” and who am I to argue? They gave me a two hour tutorial on How To Facebook, then I left on a Thanksgiving trip with the family. I’ve been overwhelmed and bewildered ever » » Keep Reading

I have a hard time working apart from the hum of human activity, which is why I’m writing from my favorite coffee house. This is an advantage, in that it negates the need for an office and a receptionist. This is a disadvantage, in that it comes with semi-frequent interruptions from faces I can’t place and names I can’t » » Keep Reading

First, I wanted to say to all of you who are following our blog that we’re back!

Second, I’m not Steve!  My name is Erick Goss and I’m an executive producer who works with Steve and was the guy who convinced him to blog in the first place.  I’m the equivalent of a “suit” but wear jeans or khakis most days.  When Steve talks about the guys forcing him into social media, the target of his angst is » » Keep Reading
