Ok, I just did something that Ive always wanted to do but been too nervous to do. I wrote to Tommy aka the Green Ranger aka JASON DAVID FRANK. Since I announced that my first comic book comes out (and it happens to be a Power Rangers graphic novel), many of you have suggested that I reach out to him on his fan page. So, I sucked it up and wrote to him. Told him my first movies that I directed were called Jordan Ranger (I basically made my brother, Jordan, do whatever I needed to make my own version of the Power Rangers. Sadly, I had no budget so it was practically child enslavement, but oh well!) and that it was an honor to get to contribute to his character and create answers to his back story that many of us geeks have often wondered about him. Its funny cause Ive at times been assigned to sign autographs right next to him but I would never approach him out of respect, but I hope he reads it and knows that a true fan wrote it with love, loyalty and respect for what he and the Rangers have done. I felt like an 11-year-old again! If he does respond, well, hell yes! But I wrote to him with the expectation that I wouldnt hear back, because that wasnt the purpose. I just wanted him to know he and that show actually inspired me to film and hence I discovered my love for filmmaking and writing. But more importantly, I hope all you Power Rangers fans enjoy the comic! Comes out next week. Its refreshing to be talking about something different. And Im excited to be doing a few, limited interviews with other Power Rangers and comic geeks! So, if you wanna talk Power Rangers, all this week Ill make some time to do it. Its Morphin Time, dawg!
