Thanks for the advice! I'll start looking around to see what's available locally, see if, as you said, there is a need to be filled.

For the second time this school year, I was "commissioned" (no pay) by my school to make a video to represent to the general public what Classical High is all about. Evidently, I've built up a reputation as the go-to video guy. Now, obviously, I took these jobs to get in good with the...

These two lovely ladies stopped by this morning and we managed to complete 4 1/2 pages in six hours (including a twenty-or-so minute break and a lot of talking and screwing around). Really, it couldn't have gone better. More shooting will be going on this Wednesday, so more pictures and news...

Ho boy, I apologize for those gigantic images...

First Day Of Shooting: Summary It was an excellent first day of shooting, even though all I got was one side of a phone conversation. Here are a couple of photos from the shoot: You can get a sense of not only the budget, but also the level of expertise I'm working with here... Tory Marks...

I will! Shooting starts tomorrow, I'll post a picture or two.

Thank you! I do have one huge obstacle: an exceedingly negative cast member trying to "help" me run the movie. I can appreciate a perspective grounded more in realism than optimism and a blind desire to finish a movie before school starts, but when you start pointing out every little thing I...

Oh good god, barely any. I'm a totally inexperienced high-schooler working with my totally inexperienced high-school friends, so no actors I need to pay. I have no money, so I'm just using the T3i that I own as opposed to renting. The biggest issue is my dropping a schedule on my friends with...

Thanks! I'm gonna need it, the scheduling was VERY last-minute and I don't know when people can make it...

Have a schedule worked out, waiting on a word from the rest of the cast. We go back to school the 28th... let's hope for the best!

Yes, I have seen Catfish. In all honesty the big reveal wasn't quite as shocking as I was hoping (I dunno, maybe my mom just watches too many true-crime shows :D), but it was very interesting.

I did the Providence one three or so weeks ago. It was my first time. I learned two things, being essentially a one-man crew: 1. Never, EVER trust anyone else that a shot is "in focus" unless you know for a fact they know what they're doing. 2. Even after having been reminded of it for a...

Here's my second 48 Hour Film (my first can be found here, but be warned: it's terribly mediocre), and my first for the 48 Hour Film Project. It's called Earl Grey in A Single Shade of Grey. It resurrected an old character I wrote a crappy short film around a few years back (originally, he was a...

After damn close to three years, my first "real" film project is ready to shoot. It's called zero budget. a movie about two dudes making a movie. (periods and lack of capitalization intentional). I first had the idea somewhere around May 2010, when I figured that since I had no budget with which...

Yes, yes I do get you. And thanks again, to both of you: Lucky, I think you made me realize something about my writing: whenever I try for something dramatic, I do focus a hell of a lot more on the idea (or possibly gimmick) than the story and characters, which is kind of the opposite of how I...

Thanks for the feedback, wheatgrinder. I do think I have a way of tricking myself into thinking that anything I do that isn't comedy is automatically edgy because all I've ever done is comedy and I'm tired of it. It is a pretty simple thing, I'm certainly not trying to be groundbreaking, but I...

I'm currently working on a screenplay for a five-or-so minute short film to be released this fall or next January. The concept is that on the surface it appears to be a somewhat poorly-done amateur documentary of a high-school couple suddenly falling apart and breaking up, but in actuality it's...

Thank you so much for that thorough criticism! I know what you mean about the last line-I often find that once a show explains why something is funny it immediately stops being funny. Not sure why I kept the line, but it might have been because I wanted to show Alex's exasperation at getting...

Definitely, definitely, definitely I need to practice lighting. And color-correction too, the scene at 3:31 where it suddenly gets all stylized for a minute really bugs me. And thank you!

Sorry to double-post this, but I didn't receive any feedback on my original post with this video... here's my first-ever 48 hour film. The prompt was "Horrible Breakup Movie". Let me say, after going through it, I had a lot more sympathy for last year's films that I thought were mediocre. Any...
