Hopefully this will be good news for you�my optimism was not unfounded! I have a thumbs up, and we can
get started with the planning.
Obviously, we have loads of details to discuss. Chris, should I talk with you to find out what you are thinking
about at this point? We'll both likely have more questions than answers for a while.

My phone is If we can chat sometime tomorrow or Thursday, that would be great. Please let me
know how to reach you, or if you'd like me to talk with someone else. I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks,

I am writing to follow up on the possibility of filming something at your headquarters building. I
know its a long shot but there was some indication that it might be possible so I wanted to check it out. We
would love, in brief, to film a quick bit walking through the lobby, something in the parking lot and a wide shot
of the building as an establishing shot.

I am cCting Chris Brigham who is the executive producer of the movie. He will follow up with you and
hopefully something can be worked out. We love the Agency and this heroic action and we really want the
process of bringing it to the big screen to be as real as possible.
Thanks,
Ben
