It's quite the experience for sure

Taking a break from writing (and the world) for a bit to enjoy some good ol' fashioned medieval entertainment.

Spielberg's West Side Story would have been an all time remake classic if it got the proper theatrical release it deserved.

Apparently the message now is "I'm upset the person committing war crimes isn't a Democrat."

My genuine reaction

Couldn't agree more

Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

I don't care if it's about dragons or romance or a pickle. Your story is a product of the author (you) and the time they live in. It's a total expression of freedom to display your beliefs. Even if it's not directly political, it is a statement.

When we embrace that, stories stand out

Hard to ignore the news today so let's get into it #Scriptsky

A lot of talk recently about how film or art in general should remain apolitical. That people want this space to remain free from politics. I hate to break it to you, but your art is political. All art is political.

No way I'm not playing this game 3 times through in a row.

Look at how perfect they are.

What a delightful week

The best thing you can do in light of the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers invest your time, energy, and money in supporting independent creators and independent distribution networks and independent venues. It is absolutely crucial to make independence a viable option.

Shot list finalized.

Feels good to be so prepared so that I can follow the spontaneous inspirations on the day.

But which studio will be left to greenlight the terrible biopic about all this mess?

I've been saying this for years

Part of me agrees but then the other part of me wonders if I'll be kicking myself for not having them if the other audio doesn't turn out great.

And glad to answer these questions! That's why I've been posting these updates, to document my process and inform if I can.

Pretty bare bones at the moment. Being lent a decent boom mic with a shotgun on the camera as a backup.

Still have some left in my equipment budget so I'm considering renting some wireless lavs as an extra extra backup, but kind of want to test the sound with what I've got hands on first.

T-minus 10 days to production:

Finalizing the shot list today with part of my setup. (ft. My morning coffee as my focus subject)

I actually started on Spotify then went here for verification. Very helpful, but unfortunately doesn't have a means of listening to the song on the list so you do have to jump back and forth.

Yup. Yes indeed. Absolutely.

Filled with immense joy to find the PERFECT public domain song to use for the short. It's all coming together.

New genre: Sci-fact

A tale as old as time

T-minus 12 days to production:

Already had to push the shoot a day, but my most difficult to acquire props have been acquired with relative ease. I even got to use the "it's for a short film" line when buying strange items!
