Spring Fever

Today it was so warm and sunny I should've put the top down on the Cabrio and had some fun. Instead I worked all day at the restaurant. But that's okay- fun, good times, and cash to line my pockets.

Brett and I need to get our website up with blog and all that stuff intact- just been so busy. It's on the list. Now that the wheels are in motion on the film I thought it would be good to keep a dedicated blog following what's going on and progress. I have a phone call on Wednesday regarding the adaptation and submissions. Our Sci Fi script is getting worked on down in LA and the dark comedy (the B plan in case the Sci-fi takes longer or gets pushed out) is being budgeted and all that good stuff to put together our investor package and all those things I've been putting off. When I wrote, directed, produced my feature Breach of Etiquette I did all the leg work to get it made so I should quit my whining, pull up my bootstraps and just get it done. So, that's what I'm doing. I'm so out of touch with prices it's almost comical- I need to make some calls and sit down with some local producers who've filmed recently to give me a reality check.

That's where I am with everything. Brett and I have been receiving amazing support on the projects- there's always a few people who aren't as supportive or maybe it's just a lack of interest. Oh well, it is what it is.

I've got some calls and meeting to set up this week and then I see Brett off on his trip to the Bahamas. For Valentine's Day cruise. For business. I'll be home- waaaaah! Eating chocolate cupcakes most likely.

And with that, I've got work to do- stay posted for more developments- I'll make an announcement once the new website is up. Best option is to follow me on twitter...

Bye!

January- check.

Status report: Feedback on scripts: positive. Moving forward according to plan. Life is awesome.

I've got a little side project brewing... more of that later.

I love my life.

January was awesome. Bring on February.

Good Things Come in 3's

First (presentable) draft of the adaptation is 95% done- just tweaking three specific scenes.

We're getting feedback on the script that Brett plans on directing this year- the Sci Fi story.

and...

I'm doing a rewrite to finesse the dialogue of one the antagonist in my own script. This is after I had Brett read it. And he liked it. A lot. Enough to want to direct it himself. Before the sci-fi script. Whoa. That's huge. This is the best feedback I've ever gotten from him and the most interest he's shown in my writing.

2010 is starting out with a bang- let's keep the momentum going!

2010

We spent Christmas in Mexico, New Year's Eve with friends, and only had mild headaches in the morning. A New Year's Day success story!

After a much needed break, I'm happy to report that Brett and I completed the first draft of our script- we are set on shooting it this year and we both feel really good about how things are going, the interest we're receiving from people who want to be involved and all that warm fuzzy stuff. The adaptation I'm a co-writer on is going well- waiting to see some rewrites and changes. Good stuff, I tell ya.

I haven't had time to make resolutions or come up with any strategic plan for this year. Maybe that's the next order of business.
