Jessie/Victor/others, are you sure you even want to get into this crazy business? Additionally, while I was away Chris was kind enough to post an article that I so wanted to do myself last week. So I'm gonna do it now, again, anyway. This Filipino-American director wants to work on projects that involve his life and community and he's writing a "...screenplay, which features a mixed cast that includes Filipino American characters, is being considered by Hollywood studios -- some of which have told Pulido they want to change the ethnicity of those characters. Others -- impressed by Pulido's writing and "The Flip Side" -- have asked him to work on commercial projects that they've already OKd. Pulido has turned down the offers. "I won't lie -- it is tempting," Pulido says. "But the projects they offer me are so ridiculous, I would feel so dirty if I did that. This one person wanted me to write something called 'Booty Dance.' They said, 'C'mon. Throw some kids grinding their bodies together in a club, and it writes itself.'"
