Drum roll please…
June 20th, 2010
Hey y'all,
It is with great pleasure and with much gratitude to everyone who lent a hand to announce that yesterday, June,19th 2010, 521 Media shot a pilot episode of a project that I have been working on in my head for ten years and seriously for the past few months.
I'm gonna keep a lot of the details within our family for awhile but I will tell you that I had us breaking down about 5 o'clock yesterday and we didn't wrap till midnight so I have some work to do on the scheduling!
Nick Gant brought in a stellar crew, Brandon Branch dressed the set to the point of me wishing I lived there and Libbie Summers set up food that will have y'all licking your television sets.
1000 thanks to y'all and the rest of the crew. ThankyouThankyouThankyouThankyou.
I'm gonna go lock myself in an edit room and hope to have a show in a week.
Stay tuned for all the details....
Happy Father's Day to all you dad's-
Y'all do good things

Congratulations on your new project, Sir! Sounds likethere could be exciting times on your horizon. I understand the hushed details, but is this a solo project or a Deen Bros Duet?

Oh my gosh Jamie, CONGRATULATIONS! I’ll lick my television now so I am good and ready when the pilot airs. I love you guys so much, I am so excited for you. I can’t get enough of the Deen Family, this is yet another avenue I will have to get my “Deen” fix. Amazing how I can turn your good news into “all about me”. My husband and kids say I do it all the time, don’t tell them I admitted it but I think they’re right
I can’t wait - thanks for sharing this awesome news!
Always, Tracey Lopez/Turlock CA

Yo Jamie! Congrats on the new pilot! Hope there are more good things to come! Swung by the “new” restaurant the last time I was back in Savannah to see all of you, but I think you were all out of town. Miss you and the crew - been a looong time. Tell your mom I said hello!

Hey Jamie…I know this post doesn’t have anything to do with what you have written but I wanted to talk sports with you. I know how you love sports and the Bulldogs. We have talked about the SEC before. I love my Gamecocks as much as you love the Bulldogs. Anyway…just wanted to brag a little since I can’t do it that often with you in football. My Gamecocks are playing in the CWS tonight for the national championship!!! Sure hope we can do it tonight and not have to play that 3rd game. Goooooo Cocks!!!!

Congratulations on your new pilot!!!! Can’t wait to hear more of the details and when we all will be able to see it.
Your teaching video’s on your mother’s site are great. I can imagine that this pilot will be superior!! Are you the producer as well?
Again, congratulations and hope there are many more shows to be made. Happy Father’s Day!!!
