Movie making for a writer is difficult. . .seven years in production hell. . .but

I got three pieces off the ground with funding. Just signed my slate contract and the crew contracts for two of my shorts and my sitcom.

When they are done and out, the producer will put them on IG and market them to others.

I will share them with you all when that happens.

UPDATE on WIFE:

Her Thai visa fell through. I have my Chinese visa, a job at a posh REAL international school in Beijing (with 50% actual foreign students that costs $30K a year to go to for them), my ticket and quarantine hotel in Hong Kong. . .and my plane ticket from Hong Kong back to the Mainland to do my seven day quarantine in Nanjing (20 minutes away from my wife in Jiangsu). October 4th, this COVID/Green card separation madness is FINALLY OVER!!! I will send pictures of our reunion to DU when it happens.

What I find amazing is her Green Card has been denied three times over two years, but my China spouse visa took money and seven days to get.

She can just come up from Shanghai (or wherever she lives in Jiangsu) and live with you in Beijing?
And you are all set with a Chinese work visa.

I know from personal experience, dealing with USCIS can be a pain.
