Done surviving: back to (film) work
It’s been a tumultuous several months.
The most important element for any thirty-something-artist-with-a-family is money.
I hate to say it. But it is ever so true.
I had been “surviving” from freelance job to freelance job but we have finally broken strides and have come back (almost) full time back to writing.
I have been making a ton of very cool videos, experimenting with a new camera, the new avid, brushing up on my after effect skills, AND making money.
Unfortunately, I have good and bad news.
The good, is that I now have money to support myself for a good while.
The bad, is that I am still not satisfied with the script. This means that the completion date is being moved (again).
But like all good stories, herein lies a silver lining: We are shooting for excellence and excellence takes time.
The overall outline is complete and I am building upon this.
Not much from the old script will make it to the new one, and many pivotal scenes and characters are being improved. The new outline is more straightforward, simpler and awesome.
It sucks that it is taking more time than originally intended, but that’s the difference between making movies and making great movies.
Life is too fucking short to be making bad movies.
More to come.
PS: I’ll be posting our new videos this week.
