Our director for My First Kiss is the only person I know who may be busier than me. So, when it comes to getting together with her for a story meeting it can often get pushed back from our original date. That’s what happened this time. Peter and I have been trying to meet with her since I got back from London three weeks ago. After getting pushed back a couple of times, we set up for 3pm yesterday at her house. I emailed Peter to confirm with him and was surprised that I hadn’t heard back since he’s usually right on top of things.
It wasn’t until yesterday morning, just hours before our scheduled meeting that he sent a text message: I’m in Kansas City. Baby decided to come early! Tired. More later.
What? I was in total shock. I knew his wife was pregnant. We were originally hoping to shoot the movie this summer and he was concerned that he wouldn’t be there 100% because they were having their first baby. I also knew that his wife was on a business trip last weekend. What shocked me was the baby decided to bounce out over two months early. Nothing like getting a head start on life.
Welcome to the world Kiefer Jordan. You’re one lucky guy. You picked really great parents.
Sure enough, our meeting didn’t get pushed back this time. And it was a really good one. Eight hours of leaps and bounds progress. Which I will post about when I finish the script polish this weekend. We missed you, Peter…but couldn’t be happier for you.
Congratulations!
