Busy, Busy, Busy


It’s been so long since I posted, but that’s actually a good thing, since instead of blogging, I’ve been networking! My life lately has been an explosion of meeting new people. 

At the center of most of these new people (bursting with creativity over cups of coffee and slices of pizza) is a short film project called “What Do We Care?” A concept of Brooke Allen’s, this is a piece that will be about 5-10 minutes when completed, and which shares some of his cutting edge philosophies on finance.

It’s also turning out to be the ultimate learning tool, since, to see the project completed, I’m organizing a group of these great, creative people I'm meeting who also want to learn more about film-making to tackle it with me. As we move forward, we’ll all be sharing with each other what we know (pretty much everyone knows at least a little bit about one area), and tackling one step at a time in this process until we have a finished product. By the time it’s over, our respective film-making knowledge will have (hopefully) doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled, depending on how much we each have to learn going in.

As for my own feature-length script (of which I set a deadline to be finished with the first act by March 1st,) making the time for it has been a struggle. Ok, that’s putting it lightly – I’ve barely written a thing. But there’s still one whole weekend between me and March 1st, and I’m determined, even if it’s a shoddy, pathetic first draft which will need countless revising, to finished that first draft by my deadline!
