CDAN – Is this the biggest kindness in the history of the world? Nope. Not by a long shot, but it is pretty big to show you what happens when people take time to do the little things. This initialed A++ list producer/writer/director and creator was filming in a local Los Angeles neighborhood recently. It is not a street that usually sees a lot of filming and took place on a quiet street. It was just some pick up shots for a movie, but our producer/director was there to supervise. When the residents discovered who was shooting and for what movie, they of course came out to gawk. Not a problem for our producer who took pictures, signed autographs and even let all the kids come out and listen on headsets and explained each shot in advance. Many of the residents baked cookies or brought out food for the crew and the producer got all their names and addresses and sent a personalized, signed note mentioning each item of food to each person. Definitely a nice touch and left everyone with some great holiday spirit and lots of love for our producer.
JJ Abrams. He is a nice guy.
Ah, great guess. I could see this being him.
My guess too.
He is filming Mission:Impossible right now – so I really like this guess.
Sounds like JJ…I like these happy holiday posts!!
How sad that acting like a decent human being, taking pains to thank people for putting themselves out a bit, and sending thank you notes – these things are worthy of mention as something classy and admirable.
Even sadder, they happen soooo seldom any more that when they do, we alert the media.
Pretty rare with a lot of non-showbiz types these days, too.
Hmmm. David E. Kelley?
Nice!!!! Thank you. whoever you are, for making the world a bit better of a place today.
Clint Eastwood
initialed
Samesies. This is totally him. He got a really great rep here in Detroit while filming Gran Torino
night shyamalan! creator/director/writer/producer
I second this. I think his name is better known to the general population than JJ Abrams.
yup. CDAN once revealed a blind item about m. night taking care of a sick crew membee’s family or something super nice. i love nice blind items.
Like this guess. Currently directing 1000 AE which has huge hype and would certainly have people knowing the name. He’s known to be a very generous guy too.
A++ is kind of a stretch.
All his movie are shot in Philly
Kevin Smith and Red State
he would have already mentioned it for publicity
keyboard solo… JJ ABRAMS!!!!
Heh, that was a great video
agreed! On both counts!
steven spielberg!
Totally JJ Abrams.
Ron howard
Initialed? And I don’t think he is a writer, is he? Or a creator. I think he’d be hyphenated with ‘actor’ in there.
my first thought was JJ Abrams
My only other guess is JK Rowlings seeing as they mentioned kids were being invited to the set.
This would be a good guess if she did any directing. I do think she got producer credits for the HP movies.
Humm.. The only director I know well is Tim Burton, but I don’t see him doing this, at all…
HA! I wonder what the thank you cards would have looked like?
Totally sounds like JJ. Worked with him on “Alias”; very much in character for the man.
That is nice to hear.
I love JJ…how cool. I just don’t know if he’s A++. That’s why I liked the M Night guess…love him, hate him, think he’s overrated, his name is instantaneously recognizable to anyone.
Super nice! Whoever this is, what a nice guy. It doesn’t cost anything to be nice to people – his momma raised him right
he made those neighbor’s day. They’ll be talking about how nice he was for a long time. Warms my <3!
I was just thinking we haven’t had a ‘nice’ blind in a while…thanks!
Kind Fella.
McG?
Stephen J Cannell…..he’s dead though isn’t he?
Well, whoever it is, much love.
CDAN will probably reveal it, he tends to rreveal the kindnesses.
I agree with JJ Abrams – He is filming the new Mission:Impossible right now.
seth macfarlane, why not?
Perhaps someone with a middle initial like Steven A. Soderbergh (for example). Props and applause to the subject of this blind because some of those kids will never forget the kindness.
why is this a blind?
with the initialed comment has to be JJ
