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.

will it ever get made?

I think about my screenplays getting made. I can see them clear as day.

I don’t know if what I’ve started writing is do-able within the constraints of a 21-year old film student without a job and without any sort of connection with anyone with money.

The dream would be to direct my screenplays and keep them the same on screen but on the other hand, I feel like after the screenplay gets done, it would feel good to hand it off.

The other dream? Sell them.

I know what I’ve written is do-able within the constraints of video. I don’t want to shoot them on film.

It’s hard to make friends with crew guys (D.P.s, sound guys, etc.). For me it’s that way. Writing puts me in a mood that isn’t necessarily pleasant for other people to be around.

I’m shooting a 16 mm project in a couple of weeks. I’m going to treat it differently from the last big 16 mm project. And by that I mean I have no idea what I’m going to do.

Pre-production packages are due Friday.
