Tomorrow

Sep2

I will be trying my hand at Vertical Drama Series pitching. I have two scripts, started work on a third, and just completed attendance of a Vertical Conference online. It was very informative.

If you’re wondering what a Vertical Drama Series is – I’d recommend:

One of the few articles that details it without a paywall.

These are my storylines I’ll be pitching:

A devout punk media founder, trying to endure an interview with a flamboyant rock star who performs as a demon, is enraged when he recognizes her as his long-lost fallen angel lover, compelling him to win back the woman who asked God to make her forget her identity.

A hippy spiritualist returns to her estranged family to make amends with her dying mother, only to find the family still haunted by the time she tried to poison her mother for stealing the love of her life.

A bored millionaire crashes his high school reunion, to discover the timid girl he once rejected is now a captivating pole dancing celebrity who finds the rich jet setting business man to be a snooze fest. To win her heart he must strip his identity and locate his own heart to romance her, and before she finds true love in another.

Would storyline do you like best?

Can’t wait.

This trailer was scored by Jonny Greenwood, a British musician and composer. He’s also one of the founding members of Radio Head.

This is what I found out after researching whose music this was.

I found out all the movies he’s scored and going to watch every single one. Curious what the rest of his music on film sounds like; what kinds of experiences he’s created before now.

I can’t wait. It’s so exciting.

My first Podcast interview?

Aug27

This is my *very first* interview as a writer-director, and ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จโ€ฆ.

I really like the writer whose podcast this is, so when she asked me for an interview I jumped to do it. But then, I thought โ€˜Wait a minuteโ€ฆ do I know how to do an interview?โ€

Well, itโ€™s done now. In the end it was like just talking with a young friend.

Still, maybe I shoulda been more formal.

The Beauty of Quietly Sharing.

Aug24

When my mother was on her earthly journey, sheโ€™d watch cooking shows back to back.

I was always a bit annoyed when I visited, wanting to change the channel from these toxically chipper people having nothing but fun cooking, not a hint of real life foibles in sight.

Well through out life, Iโ€™ve been taxed with taking care of myself. And being a bit of a foodie myself, the making of a dish would capture my attention from time to time.

These days I liken myself a very tasty cook, and itโ€™s the chore I spend the most amount of time on.

So now, I willingly give cooking instruction videos in my feed a chance.

Which is how I found โ€œKay.โ€

Kayโ€ฆ. prepares the most exquisite mealsโ€ฆ and characteristically does so through a darker lens than the vast majority of chefs you may encounter on social media. She is the Edgar Allen of bunch.

And most times seems genuinely taken with her process, not you.

Important because I want to think my own thoughts, and have my own experiences with what Iโ€™m watching. I donโ€™t want to feel pressured to feel like the chef is a chum.

Her process is enough.

Itโ€™s already the best and highest bar for what it is.

โ€œAwakeโ€ (reimagined)

Mar27

First time editing with imovie in a number of yrs, and it was my first time using my iphone to shoot something. But I was itching to, so here we goโ€ฆ

“Awake” was written in December 2013 (the poem debuted on Word press).

From His Heart to Your Soul

May4

It’s been a while since I’ve been on my blog. Trying to find my way. Maintain, end, begin certain things, put off for way too long. But in the last 10 years I lost mother, father, grandmother, and my brother.

Leaving me struggling in MANY way. But I’ve been discovering alot about myself – both good and bad.

Anyway I heard something earlier that spoke to me in such a deep way, I wanted to share it.

This lil’ bruh deserves his props for this performance and writing, because here we are living very different lives, different age groups, but his words stirred me up so much I cried.

Art is so powerful. Anyway, check him out:

Break for Anime?

Oct14

This is a great time for writing, for escaping it all. And I have escapes from my escapes.

Right now, I’m penning an anime series alongside a last rewrite of a live-action feature film. But it took foreeeeeeever to get started writing it, because I didn’t really know how to structure one. I wasn’t too sure what the needed elements might be… but… funny thing… I forgot I started as an animator. I went the flip book, animation focus in high school, major in college route, before falling in love with live action filmmaking and betraying animation (my first love lol).

So I do have some idea how to create dynamic scenes. And I’ve been working on storytelling for so long now – I hope I know how to tell a good one by now.

But you know what the most surprising thing is so far? It’s fun!

It’s not the primary genre I work in, so I feel like I have alot of room to play and mess up. Do whatever.

Let it be great, or not.

Be free…
