A Toby Peters Mystery?

Well, I have been writing the second commercial for Baron Hats, this one a detective story set in Los Angeles, 1943. And what better style of detective story than a Toby Peters Mystery?

In case you're not familiar with them, the Toby Peters Mysteries, by bestselling author Stuart Kaminsky, is a series of about 23 books, all of which take place in L.A. circa WWII. They all involve a real-life guest star, like Bela Lugosi or Cary Grant, and are simply hilarious.
Anyway, we are hoping to get the right to film this short Toby Peters story, which I have written with Stuart Kaminsky's blessing. As to what his agent will say, I don't yet know. So, here's to hoping.
Ed and I have made a couple of informal photos of me as Peters, one of which I've made into a poster. And yes, that's Andy Garcia on the poster. We're hoping to get him to play the Boss bad guy. Mark Mejia knows him, so again, who knows?
Here are the images. 'Till later!
