Future Projects
Lawton's recent work includes both writing and directing Jackson, a comedy-drama-musical starring Barry Primus, Charles Robinson, Steve Guttenberg, Debra Jo Rupp and opera singers Ella Lee, Shawnette Sulker and Clamma Dale. The movie takes place on a single day involving two homeless men surviving on Los Angeles’s Skid Row. Lawton wrote two songs for the movie, Downtown Birthday and Love Cannot Be. According to his publicist, Jackson was shot mainly in Downtown Los Angeles, except from one scene shot in Kentucky.
His latest script with South Park creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, is in development at Paramount Studios.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or projects:
“The planet’s survival has become so uncertain that any effort, any thought that presupposes an assured future amounts to a mad gamble.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
