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 normal present connects the past and the future through limitation. Contiguity results, crystallization by means of solidification. There also exists, however, a spiritual present that identifies past and future through dissolution, and this mixture is the element, the atmosphere of the poet.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
