Ben: I did. I did audition for pilots.

BBO: You did ??? Any good feelings ?

Ben: I am sorry, the other line is now beeping. You are lucky, it’s the middle of the night in Germany, so you don’t have people at the front door and no one is calling. I auditioned but it’s like mini pilot seasons. In my entire career in Los Angeles which spans a number of years now, I have booked a total of 1 pilot. Pilot season is just one of those things [laughs] where they are casting all of their stuff. To a certain degree it’s a numbers game. It’s a crapshoot so, I go out, I audition, I meet people, I enjoy myself. But this year, no pilots this year.

BBO: And Going Homer and Black Mountain ? Are they still ….

Ben: Going Homer is still in development at SciFi

BBO: How far along are you with that project ?

Ben: Every day we are one stop closer I guess. It’s hard to say, you know, until you have a green light and someone is writing more checks, it’s impossible to say. Hopefully we have another meeting on it within the week – and hopefully it will continue to move forward.

BBO: Nothing on Black Mountain ?

Ben: No. Not that I know of. That script has been sold and is currently owned elsewhere.

Ben: Say Hello to the board for me. I can’t believe, they are still … well, I do that. I am always amazed that anybody out there that even knows, that I am around. So thank you. Thank you for all the support, it’s really tremendous. I am honored.

BBO: We have a nice little "black-t"-Login for you, if you ever wanna come by so we saved  that one for you.

Ben: Great !

BBO: Yeah ?

Ben: Yes ! And I still have my Winona Forever-shirt [member shirt]

BBO: Very last question: What’s your personal wish for Freeze Frame. Where do you wanna see it’s place in movie history ?

Ben:  #1, I just wanna get the story told, getting it done and ultimately ...if Freeze Frame saves 1 life than it’s worth having done the movie.

BBO: Great ! Thank you for your time and for talking to me.

Ben: Thanks Danielle. It wasn’t so bad now was it ?! [laughs]

BBO: No, it wasn’t.

Ben: I don’t think you failed gloriously. I may have, but you’ve done fine.

BBO: It was actually fun. Thank you.

Ben: Good. I am glad you enjoyed yourself

BBO: Ok. Bye

Ben: Bye Bye. Thanks. Bye
