One of my old parters, Sean Jaffe, contacted me today — it seems a guy in his screenwriting workship just wrapped a low-budget film which bears some similarity to the urban fantasy RPG UnderWorld that we produced in 2000.

Cool! Thanks for the update. If you’ve got an email for Sean, bounce it over to me, eh? It’d be nice to catch up a bit.
