A Day in the Life of a Megalomaniacal Producer/Director

Moving very slowly...

   I want to thank the people that have left comments on my page. Everyone left some very valuable advice. I hope to return the favor, although I'm a better listener...lol. At any rate, since my last entry, i've been working on the few screenplays that I've got in the chamber. They aren't coming along so well. See, I'm a horror and comedy guy. I love to watch George Romero flicks, and I love old school "Naked Gun" movies, so my flavor of comedy and horror is dying. Horror movies are so watered down now, and I guess nobody loves good old fashioned 3rd grade fart jokes anymore...so yeah back to my screenplays. I'll admit it, they suck. The only reason why I haven't trashed them yet, is because I know hollywood will put ANYTHING on screen, so I figure, what the hell...

   I'm a producer/director at heart, so I'm really just writing the screenplays so I can make them myself. I have a partner in Boston that writes screenplays. Now she is a true blessing. She's an author turned screenwriter, and she writes alot of drama and romance type stuff. She is truly talented, and I think some of her stuff can be Oscar worthy with a bit of polishing. I can't wait to get her stuff out there. While we're both writing, we're still saving money to get to Los Angeles. I lucked up and found a nice job available at a local television station as a producer. I've got an interview date set so hopefully I can snag the job for some experience while I'm waiting to make the move to L.A.

   I've still been working on my acting, and it's getting better. Acting really opens up ones eyes to how other people can view the world. It's really an amazing experience. I'm not as nervous as I was before about going to L.A, now I'm just ready to get it over with. I'm actually more nervous now about the flight to L.A. (yeah, I'm one of those people that are deathly afraid of flying, well not so much flying, as I'm afraid of crashing). Nevertheless, I strive forward. I'm taking the advice I was given and I'm daring Hollywood to break me. I agree that it takes those kinds of balls to make it in this business. Until next time...
