This past April, much to my joy and excitement, Direction was screened at the PFA in Berkeley. After the showing and Q&A, I was approached by Michael Guillen to answer a couple questions and talk a bit about the process of making the film. Apparently this qualifies as an Interview. Definitely a first. You can read my arrogance at his film blog, The Evening Class.

First there was National Novel Writing Month, and now I finished my first feature length for April’s ‘Script Frenzy‘ marathon. I think this is actually a story I can really get behind and make. I’ll be going through a couple rewrites and maybe rework some things. I’d like to first create a comic-book/storyboard version, that way I can better visualize the story. Things are getting exciting, let’s see where it goes. Woo!!

A few month’s ago, I joined in the fricassee of the National Novel Writing Month and managed to sweat out a very satisfying little book. I got to work a bit on my writing chops and learned a good deal from the others on the site’s forum. Yet, the thing that stuck with me most is how well I work under a deadline, even if it’s “just for fun”.

As such, I jump back into the fray for April’s Script Frenzy screen writing event. (more…)
