So, I pretty much have a month and a half left of school. I have a couple of classes left that I might be able to sap a little bit of information from, but, let's face it-- I've pretty much got all that I'm going to get out of the program. The question that comes up now is... Now what? Yes, I'm just going to go back to school, and get a fucking piece of paper in this or that-- But, I know that if I wait too long, I'm pretty much just going to consider this whole idea a pipe dream, and forget about it.
So, Zach and I were talking at lunch today-- and I think that there are a few options. Unfortunately, there isn't exactly an address that you can just send a finished script to, and let that be that. There's a little bit more effort involved in even getting someone to take a look at your shit. I figure, if this draft of 'Abandon' goes my way, and doesn't totally suck-- I'll probably head down to Florida for a week or two, and do up a second draft. I'll do a couple more if necessary-- show it to whoever's willing to give me feedback.. Then ship it off to a couple of contests, or something. (Abandon is too big to get optioned by anyone anyway-- It'll only really manage to be a sample piece at best, probably.)
At the same time, I think I'm going to try to get something going at home. As Zach pointed out, we live in a fucking day and age where pretty much anyone can put a fucking movie together... We've tried giving it a shot before, but, I'd want to take something a bit more seriously, this time. The script would be put together LONG before anyone is casted, or anything along those lines-- I'd want someone else to direct, and I'd want to avoid being on camera if at all possible (...of course, depending on how many people we have available-- I probably will have to show up in there somewhere.) It'd be small as fuck, as FEW exterior locations as possible, all original music, no logo'd t-shirts-- the whole fucking shebang.
That's going to be a lot of work, but, hopefully worthwhile. I would want to put some shorts together beforehand-- so everyone could figure out what they fuck they were doing before filming.
It's a long way away, though-- As I don't even have a fucking story.
Eh. We'll see what happens.
