Still at the Beginning Stages

Tue, 22 May 2012 23:37:07 -0400

So I thought the script was done, but it wasn’t.

It’s basically my format. I’m use to doing things 1 way when they should be done another way. I have to learn this technique in order to make it in this business. It’s not a problem.

There were a few things that are asked to be changed about the script, which shouldn’t be a problem either. So I’m gonna get started on that first thing tomorrow.

As far as I knew I was about to start pre-production on my film. Turns out there is a lot more that goes into a real production. So I’m sucking up everything I thought I knew about the business & I’m learning how to go about things a new way.

It may take a little longer for my productions to start, but I & everyone else involved will be payed & the movie will be seeing theaters in the 3 digits at least.

First Draft is Complete

This is my first full length script I’ve ever done.

It was a lot of hard work & very time consuming, but I did it.

Adan (my uncle) helped me a ton. I don’t think I could have done it without him. Well I could have, but it wouldn’t be as good as it it now.

I can’t wait for everyone to read/see what I have in store.

Hey everyone! Coming up on June 5th “Not Alone”...

Hey everyone! Coming up on June 5th “Not Alone” (short film) will be shown at the Portage Theater in Chicago, Il.

Our friend Kate Imp (director of “Beauty Beneath The Dirt”) has offered to share the big screen with some other local talent & myself for the night.

Kate’s a super cool girl girl from the city who’s acted in some of the previous films I’ve filmed as well as given me some great advice on movies, & I look forward to working with her more in the future.

Here is the synopsis for her film Beauty Beneath The Dirt:

What happens when you put a lawyer, an Ivy grad, and a city chick on the Appalachian Trail?

Can this diverse threesome work together to survive the grueling hike from Georgia to Maine? Or will they crumble from the challenge? Filled with drama, laughs, and surprises, BEAUTY BENEATH THE DIRT takes a profound look at how three young people are affected by one of the most challenging outdoor adventures in existence today.

Here is the even page with more info on the premiere. I hope to see you there to support Kate & myself.

I’ve got it bad. I’m so clue to being done with this script, I’ve got the ending idea, but I’m not sure how to introduce with new character. It SUCKS!

A Helpful Friday Writing Session

So today I went to my Uncle Adan’s house. He’s the person I got to when I have some gaps in a story or anything really that I need help with. I was having trouble with the script on how I wanted a certain part to go. He helped out a ton, as well as my aunty Sam, & girlfriend Jessica.

All together we all thought of some great ideas that will be put into the script.

I didn’t meet my deadline of having the script done by the 27th, but I have some really great things that I’m putting into the script that I really don’t care about the deadline because I have a great story.
