Welcome back! Hope you're well!
To you're right, as normal, they haven't moved, you'll find all the links you need to follow me! Click away! All your friends will, because just like me, they long to be, close to you! (fantastic song, "Close To You", the Carpenters, 1970- These are getting harder and harder with each post). So, What's happening with that script? Okay... So, in May of 2017 I wrote a script. The script was awful, looking back now, but I thought it was okay back then so I decided to cast and shoot it. I had a producer, a cast, two make up artists and a big plate full of underestimation. You can guess what happened. It flopped, hard. After about 2 months. That's how much time I put into it. About 2 months, that's why it flopped. So, I shelved it, knowing that it was something that I'd want pursue in the future. I knew that before I could pick it back up, I needed to make sure that script and story were solid, which neither were, back then. That's where my editor came in and gave some notes, I also received notes from Tarrell Christie from Lost Utopia Films and upon receiving his notes and running the script line by line with my editor we discovered that the formatting of the script was horrendously off! The script was a mess. So I re-wrote the entire script from scratch with my editor over looking. It still needs work, maybe quite a bit more, so we aren't completely ready to start Pre-Production yet, but we're closer than before. I can't tell you exactly what it is and what's about just yet. Not because "it's a surprise" but mainly because I don't want to start sharing these ideas and telling you to get ready for something and then it fails again and everyone is let down. Saying that, I am in talks with my good friend, Laurence Mason-Guetta who is the writer and director of "Night Walk" (had a great time on that film! Should be out soon!) and I very confident that this "partnership" if you will, is going to be great for this film and almost locks it in, though anything can happen. ...and the book? Okay, that's a confusing story. So, remember when we first met? That first post? All those days ago? Well, back then I told you I was working on my first book, but I'll probably release the second book I write first. Well, now the second book has become the first because I have put the first book, the first, first book not the second first book, on hold in order to write the second book that has now become the first. (I told you), Basically, the book is being written and is connected to the film. Okay, that's it! Until next time, when I through how and why I keep everything I create, and why it's important to keep adding to your collection of ideas! See you soon! Live Long and Prosper!
