Grief can be all consuming.
Art can be all encompassing.
Yet love can be all healing.
How lucky we are to be humans. To live. To breathe. To heal. To hurt. And to do it all over again. How privileged are we to walk this world.
For the rest is silence.

Pitched my film to an executive producer for my film program last week.
She mentioned it was truly original, marketable, timely and just what the horror genre needs and told me to absolutely finish this script.
Today I sent act 1 to my agent.
It’s never too late.

In 12 days directing my first film. With actors and lights and sound and everything.
It’s only 4 minutes. But I’m hosting 20 auditions. Making a shot list. Planning out the colors. The mood. Even original music.
I’m going to be slow & want retakes for coverage. 1/2 #filmsky #scriptsky

Does anyone have a good outlining method they love for writing scripts?
SAVE THE CAT is good but not great for me.
I'll pulled some stuff from Dan Harmon’s Story Circle.
But something that works more on beats, turns, events would be great.
