> Hello Kittanning:
> That "Open Letter To Richard Gere," posted March 3rd (my 49th birthday) represented my last best hope of breaking the "closed set" curse and securing an interview with you-know-who.
> Personally speaking, I am far more comfortable tracking paranormal terrors, interviewing witnesses, dealing one-on-one with editors and publishers and documentary producers than I am with my present role of begging crumbs from Hollywood.
> Having said that, a tribute to John Keel is my first priority. A portion of that FATE article will feature the Kittanning filming of the movie based on Keel's book. I know that FATE is not Rolling Stone or People or even Entertainment Weekly. But we play the cards we are dealt.
> I cordially invite ANY of the CAST and CREW to submit brief and positive comments about John Keel, Mothman, FATE magazine, etc for possible inclusion. (Maybe they once lingered over the works of John Keel or thumbed through an issue or two of FATE. Maybe they experienced a brush with the paranormal. Maybe they just have something to say about "that walking Piper Cub with the red landing lights" known as Mothman.) Any generic publicity shots and photos would also be greatly appreciated.
> Having recently served as "Field Producer" for the March 12th segment of History's Mysteries, I did experience a brief taste of juggling budget, time, people, and the unexpected. I do have empathy for the magnitude of the production company's situation and restrictions.
> Thank you and the best of luck to everyone.

I have enjoyed fate magazine for many years, and had been
given a copy of 'The Mothman Prophecies" by my friend,
the mystic writer Wendell Wilkinson, five years ago.
My band 'The Venusians' had recorded our
song 'Not The Same Place', with the film in mind.
Whether or not it is accepted in the soundtrack, I am
hoping the film will remain true to the books spirit.
Best wishes on continuing your great magazine,
