It’s the itchiness of awesomeness! After getting invited to a conference call with Jason Schwartzman who plays Ash in the upcoming move Fantastic Mr. Fox, I spent my time preparing my questions, and then was able to ask him my question, which was a pretty fun moment.
What was interesting was all the bloggers in attendance. This was a smorgasbord of awesome bloggers. We had The Mommy Insider, Deb on the Rocks and Peeling an Orange With a Screwdriver. And a handful of others that I missed, due to many of them coming into the call all at the same time.
Things I learned from this call:
*3 puts a call on mute, or was it *6. I noticed it was said both ways. I wasn’t going to mute jack squat so I didn’t need it.
Plan your questions and come up with three extremely relevant questions to give yourself a better chance at the opportunity of having yours picked.
Jason Schwartzman spent all morning talking to tv stations and radio hosts… I noticed that he didn’t phone it in… oh wait!
Still, he spent a good deal of time making everyone feel very comfortable and he did very well even though he was heading out on to his honeymoon. I would say that the movie must of made him pretty busy, since he has been married for awhile.
Production notes are completely awesome, it gives a lot of insight into the process of making the movie. Oh and access to marketing materials.
And, finally… Sudafed, doesn’t help… I sound terrible in the audio recording.
This was my first… I will beg for it to not be my last.
I will cover the movie and production in an Insomniacs Parental Guide.











Wow! You’re so lucky. I never get invited to these things. One of these days…
I thought it was completely awesome. I really want the opportunity to do it again. Have I said that already? lol.
