A young screenwriter

Bursts of unfounded philosophy about Cinema from someone who watches a lot of movies and is writing two feature scripts-LOVE TEETH & D.A.R.S.

food

I’m at the very very very beginning of planning a screenplay about food.

I don’t know a whole lot about food but I do know quite a bit. I have to do some reading.

But first…

I’m editing my last film of the semester and my last 16 mm project more than likely. Ever.

I played around with the color of it to make it really sick and ill looking…not sick and ill like a skateboard trick but just really diseased and full of dementia.

I’m happy with it solely based on the fact that I used kids younger than 15 in it and I didn’t shoot it in the Chicago. If it doesn’t turn out the way I want it, at least it has that going for it. And I really don’t know what I want out of it. It’s just an experiment to try and understand the best way I work. This time around I started with images and then came up with a story afterwards. Usually I’m developing the story and then thinking about the images.

Also, got the “yes” from Nathan. He’s agreed to be my subject for a documentary that I have no idea when will be shot.

Better get back to work…
