Screenwriter Plus Is A Hellhole

Screenwriters now have the ability to work on set, and during post in order to make to maintain a synergy between the script and the director's vision. While it is nice being able to see after the creative path of your baby project, it also leads to hours of pain and suffering. As I'm writing this, I'm sitting in a energy drink and cigarette filled editing office, learning about the "wonders" of working with raw footage in premiere. I don't mind the previously mentioned items, in fact I welcome them, but good lord, it's three in the morning,  and we haven't even got this thing looking like the short it's supposed to be. I plan on sleeping for the entirety of Monday, and just letting every DOP ever just destroy my beautiful babies. For now, I will flood my blood stream with Monster. Cheers, or whatever.

Screenwriting Torture

Over the last week, a group of colleagues, and myself, wrote, shoot, and is currently editing a short. It was traumatic. The short is just one torture scene, in which, essentially, I batter a friend of mine with brand name products. Somehow, he ended up being more okay with everything than the rest of the film crew. It probably had to do with us blitzing takedown to make it to Joe's Crab Shack. The theme of the project is horror comedy, and I sincerely hope the finished project makes you both laugh and vomit (ideally at the same time). I know that we sure did during production. I'll keep you updated and when it gets published! - Cheers!
