Week 45

This week was a challenging one, as the search for income intensifies in my personal life. Creatively though I'm still trucking along, having just returned the week before from FilmQuest, perhaps the coolest film festival on planet earth.

Upon returning I got news that my short film, Call 154 was accepted into the Culver City Film Festival! Super sweet! We're gonna screen sometime the first week or so of December here in Los Angeles CA.

I'm hard at work on more shorts, writing up a great idea for midnight madness that I'll post here hopefully this week.

Current priorites

  1. First draft of 'Death Sentence'
  2. DCP Finalization for Call 154 for festival run
  3. Ideaboard draft of the plot for 'Hometown Christmas'

I hope anyone reading this feels inspired to share their own filmmaking journey! And I hope you're doing well out there in the universe!
