Writing Updates
But first a non-sequitor. It just occurred to me what to call the guy who wanders aimlessly along the sidewalk in front of me, slowly, weaving to the left and right so that I can't get by: a meanderthal. Just sayin.
Turned in another tech article last night. I have a BIGGIE due before I leave for Hawaii (yay), along with 2 more 30-second video demos. Then I'll be done with the tech work for the year. I'm also still trying to type up (!) an outline I've ALREADY WRITTEN for a new script that I think rocks the house. But that's just one man's opinion. As one might tell, I don't always suffer the insecurities of the fragile writer.
Still no "official" word yet but it looks like the script I wrote after Clarion is moving forward. I'm working on the next draft. So far, a LOT of people have read it, including a "name" to star (more later, hopefully), the author of the source material, the director's producer, his DP (director of photographer), his manager, his composer (and lifelong friend), and a few others, most importantly the financiers. And everyone loves it. It's an odd monkey, definitely not "Hollywood" material. But for the audience we're going for, it's good. We've got a lot of notes and are starting draft #4. I'm so glad I was able to work through my collaboration issues before this.
If all goes well, we could start pre-production as soon as January. In the meantime, we've gotten the go-ahead on another project, for which I'll be hired to write the script. I'm making NO OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS YET! Because it's my policy that it's not a done deal until the check has passed through my hand into my account and has CLEARED. After that, I can say it's official. But if all goes as planned, this will be my first paid gig as a creative! Woohoo!
Such an odd turnaround, really. I still haven't been able to place a short story, which is more a matter of not getting it together enough to send stuff out than anything. And yet it looks like I may have 2 films in production in 2008. Wow. Pretty cool stuff.
