BREAKING NEWS

Oscar Nominated Director/ Writer George Tirl and Eddie Bauer Jr Entertainment LLP have reached an agreement for George and Eddie to each have co writer credits and be Partners in the Finance and Production of the Bio Screenplay "Casa Del Agua" written by Eddie Bauer Jr. George will work with Eddie on the Rewrite and Polish of the script as well as Direct and Eddie will co Direct. Earlier this month after reading the Screenplay George decided to come out of semi retirement to work on the project in a letter to Eddie and his Manager, "I enjoyed our phone conversation and decided to get involved with your
worthwhile project. I accept your offer to direct your picture. I
would also like to help with the script polish/rewrite." In an interview George went on to say,
"I've known of the quality of his family for a long time and Just met Eddie but after talking to him for a short time I realized the apple didn't fall far from the tree and I like the 50/50 partnership bundled with shared responsibilities, pains and joys. Most of all though, we want to make a very memorable film."
Eddie only had this to say,

"We have been looking for a director or a while now and I cant even begin to describe the feeling of gratitude and pride that George liked my screenplay enough to come on board without any hesitation or reservation. From the bottom of my heart I want to thank everyone involved because there is no way I could pull this off alone, I claim to have done nothing by myself, something much bigger than me is going on here".
While they are looking for financing for the film which has an estimated budget of 7-10 million dollars and tentatively scheduled for release in 2013, as they work on the script Eddie and George both have expressed no concern in that department with Mr Tirl stating "This Film is going to touch lives and The One behind all this will provide.I often compare stories to canon shells. Some are small and give just a little bang and others are big with a lots of gun powder. We got the latter."

*George Tirl was nominated for an Oscar in 1976 for his Cinematography on the film Metamorphosis. France pulled out that year for political reason and George was taken of the ballot.
*Casa Del Agua is an offical Selection this year in the SURGE film festival that runs with SXSW film fest and is also currently a semi finalist in the Kairos Prize for Spiritually Uplifting Screenplays.
