In October my friend and collaborator, Lenny Pinna and I produced a 90 minute TV pilot for In The Name Of Jamie Wakefield. Lenny is the screenwriter and actor for this 6 part limited TV series and in an effort to get the story out we premiered the pilot “Tedd and Henry, Albert and Jamie” on YouTube in the hopes of getting the attention of a larger production company like Netflix or Amazon.
As part of the process we created a 9 minute “Producer Demo Reel” which is a summary of the pilot. We hope that you’ll take a look. The full 90 minute pilot can be viewed here.
Set in 1943 ‘In The Name Of Jamie Wakefield’ centers on the two year correspondence between 19-year-old gender confused Tedd Burr and famous Kings Row author Henry Bellamann. The episode stars actor / screenwriter Lenny Pinna who plays 25+ characters, using a blend of dramatic reading and a unique performance style.

Have A (Before Shopping) Plan In Place!
The Bath & Body Works SAS Sale is a super fun and crazy time but it can get crowded especially this year with no capacity restrictions so here a few things you can do to have a better shopping experience.
Pick which day you are going to shop double check the store hours and restrictions.
Make a list of nearby stores that you’re going to want to check out. Remember, each store could have different inventory.
Inventory your collection and figure out what you need. Shower Gel? Hand Lotion, etc. and what you want — Candles, Room Spray, Decor pieces.
Create A Budget – I recommend having a weekly budget as you’re going to want to shop the new deals that come out each week, however a budget
Be prepared with coupons, your wish-list and payment method. It’s probably easier to pay with a credit or debit card than cash if your store is crowded.
The Big Day! What happens when you arrive at Bath & Body Works SAS?
Each store will be a bit different and Bath & Body Works has gotten rid of those familiar red bins that we’ve been used to in years past, now all product will be on shelves. Here’s what to expect —
Bring A Friend! Shopping with a friend is a lot of fun. You can tag-team and both be on the look out for great deals.
The Red Bins Are Back – The red bins are back so be sure and look for treasures in each area of the store. You may find products from 2022 too!
Lots and Lots and Lots of Sale Products! It’s very easy to get overwhelmed, especially in big stores with a White Barn Candle Co. attached. The key is to remember that this is fun! Take a deep breathe and enjoy your journey through the store. Look at everything and don’t shop too fast.
Different Price Points – Bath & Body Works typically has a 50% off section and a 75% off section along with set prices like $1, $3 and $7. It’s best to shop the 75% off sections as those will be sold out first. Note – Some store won’t have any 75% off sections until later in the sale.
Look for different products! – SAS means discounts on things like Car Fragrance Refills, Candle Holders, Concentrated Room Spray, Wallflowers, Hand Cream, Lip Balm, PocketBacs, Perfume, Scrubs, The Wellness Collection, Aromatherapy and more. So be sure to look for these products during the sale.
Don’t Sprint! The Bath & Body Works SAS is so much fun and it lasts for almost a month so don’t blow your budget on day 1. As the sale progresses the prices can get better so save some of your budget for the end of the sale.
Shopping Bath & Body Works SAS Online!
When – The Bath & Body Works Online SAS will be live at about 6:30am EST on June 3rd.
Why Shop Online? Sometimes it’s a bit more leisurely to shop online in the comfort of your home. I recommend both in-store and online as there could be some products that are exclusive to both! My hunch is that Bath & Body Works will start with 50% off online. If you want 75% off in-store will have a better selection.
Check out the candles first! Candles are usually 50% off and the online exclusives and sell out fast!

October 21st, 2023 – Official Trailers for a proposed Limited TV Series, In The Name Of Jamie Wakefield, directed by Lenny Pinna and edited by Bonnie Diczhazy. The full-length pilot episode will be released Friday October 27th, 2023.
This imaginative World War II dramatization is performed solely by screenwriter, Lenny Pinna, based on the the book, A Face From Uranus; Correspondence between Tedd Burr and Henry Bellamann 1943-1945.
Lenny Pinna plays over 25 characters in this first episode.
Tedd Burr and his family are in Bellevue, Ohio and famous Kings Row author Henry Bellamann is in New York City at the Ansonia Hotel. Other locations include Dayton, Ohio and Fulton, Missouri (as an imagined reality). The pilot was filmed in one location in Johnstown, PA.
A Face From Uranus – It’s 1943. As World War II commands the world’s stage, nine-teen year old Tedd Burr struggles with his own private battle-gender identity. After receiving a draft notice, Tedd reaches out in desperation to Henry Bellamann, author of the best-selling 1940 novel Kings Row, for advice. Tedd imagines that the author who wrote sympathetically in his novel about a boy who was “too pretty for a boy” might be able to help him in some way. And he’s right. Henry responds, initiating a warm correspondence that deepens into a relationship that lasts until Henry’s death in 1945. Writer Lenny Pinna plays all of the numerous characters, offering his vision for the pilot of this proposed Limited TV Series.
A distinctly American story like no other—from docu-drama (Letters to Uranus; the hidden life of Tedd Burr) to book (A Face From Uranus: Correspondence Between Tedd Burr and Henry Bellaman to Limited TV Series (In The Name of Jamie Wakefield). The intimate lives of Tedd Burr and Henry Bellamann will emotionally captivate you with their engaging and complex relationship which is highly energized by their passion for classical arts and philosophical discussions.
