To: Imagine This! From: Eion Bailey

Okay, so here’s the thing…

A lot of you have high hopes for the Imagine This! project, and no one on our team wants to let you down. Ever.

But frankly, sometimes things just get in the way.

Agents sometimes lie in order to make more money and sometimes, just sometimes, actors are too lazy to read an entire contract (hmmm, who could that be?).

So I have been waiting, patiently, and sometimes not so patiently, hitting my head against the wall, locked into a contract that disallowed me from producing any show on television.

This unfortunate contract held me exclusively for my services and allowed me nothing else; no acting, no hosting, no producing.

With a little luck, and perhaps divine guidance, that contract expired on Dec. 31st 2009.

Since August, when my wonderful new lawyer educated me about this blunder, I have been engaged yet distant, upset with myself, and feeling a fool, unable to bring myself to write a weekly blog. For what? To discuss how we will not get this show made…yet? How, at the height of our buzz and excitement, on the tail of an amazing LA premiere, we took a nose dive into contractual hell?

No, I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

What we DID do….. is…. continue to broaden our relationship with NGO partners. Exciting ones!

We continued to develop episodes. Fantastic ones!!!

We continued to court our chosen production partner. Now we will have one!!!! I am so excited to let you know that we will be taking our show to the marketplace in March!

So please join us in resurrecting this baby and getting this idea out of cyberspace and onto television airwaves.

Dear friends, business partners, agents, lawyers, aid workers, bloggers, web designers, and all around good Samaritans who have given so much to this idea, I salute you, and give you all the gratitude in the world. This is our idea and we will make it happen.

Yours, Eion

I'm glad to see the show is heading for the masses. It's been a lot of hard work and a lot of rangling on your part so kudos and let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Comment by Danielle on February 15, 2010 at 7:44am: We all make mistakes. Your honesty is pretty freaking awesome.

Comment by paul splane on February 14, 2010 at 4:59am: That was the most cool, forthright and honest bit of the heart that I have read in the last LONG while Eion. I'm sorry that I've not been more active but the economy has me by the ...throat. The small print..hmmmmm. Time to get on now. I'm with you in thought and prayers!

Don't sweat the past, stride confidently into the future. Go get 'em!

Comment by Danie`le Frost on February 13, 2010 at 5:55am: YEahhhh!!! Thanks for letting us know where things were at, Imagine this is so much more than a Tv show and we all know that> !

Comment by Anna Buxton on February 12, 2010 at 5:03pm: To be fair I think we're all a little guilty of not reading the 'small print'. Glad to hear you're back in the game Eion.

Comment by Sue Grow on February 12, 2010 at 1:32pm: So glad to hear it can move forward now. Many of my friends who got to see the pilot have been asking when it would air. It will be fun to plan our own "airing premiere" at the house. Hope "Dingo" will be here to join us.
