A New Development

All right guys, by now most of you know that I will be moving to Arizona for school. At this time though I have a problem trying to decide what to do. My friend who was going to be moving with me has decided against going with the intent of love. So while she stays with her true love I will be going off to Arizona, alone. I love what I want to do with my career. I love filming, directing, acting, producing and all around just telling people what to do:-)I can't deny that last part, (just ask my brothers and sisters). So as much as I will miss out on having one of my best friends living with me I will still keep on with my goals and dreams and I will move to Arizona to a great place. I haven't decided as to exactly when I will be moving but I know that it will definately be moving to Sedona, Arizona either at the end of January or the end of May. I'm leaning towards the end of May because I will have more time to put together the things that I need and save the money up for living while going to school. Anyway, I should go before my computer dies.
I'll catch ya on the flip side !-p

Getting Movies Together

Hey guys I haven't posted a blog since I've moved here to Newton and, unfortunately, I won't be able to post movies until I get a new camera. Mine fell into Niagra Falls and well I can't take videos until I can afford a new camera.
Anyway, I thought that I would take a moment to talk about my movies. I say "my movies" because I am talking about the ones that I have written, am writing already, and the ones that I'm trying to put into production. I am currently trying to finish up the editing for the first episode of a miniseries that I have been writing for a year. I must say that while writing this I have had some challenges but none of them so great that I haven't been able to work on them. The biggest challenge that I have had to face was finding time for it. However, I am certain that this one, even though this is the fastest that I have written something, is one of the best that I have written. I hope to be able to do it justice. This will be my first movie that I will put together that will be more than ten minutes long. The last time I was working on a movie (apart from the small 2 minute videos for this blog) was for health class. This was on the effects of alcohol on people who abuse. On that one I was the director, lead, editor and writer. On some of the others that I have worked on I have been a little bit of all of them. On this movie I will be a little bit of everything as well but my main responsibilities will be write (obviously), director, producer, hair and make-up, costume designer, set designer and builder,lighting, special effects, and anything else that I have to do in order to get this off the ground.
This screenplay is sort of a sci-fi type movie you might see on the sci-fi channel but maybe not as gruesome. This is actually geared to make you think about possibilities and what can and may happen. I want to give people a sense of what happens in a life that people may not actually think exists in the United States but in some places it does, maybe not in so much extremes as I have portrayed it.
The things that I must find as I put this together is to find places for shooting it and supplies and getting enough money saved and put aside to put up for the costs of shooting and supplies. I have actually been able to find places to shoot but finding people to work without much pay is hard to get. I am hoping that I can rely on my family for help, which I probably can, but since I have to work a lot too I don't have much time for shooting or putting together schedules for people.
However, in this I am having fun. I hope that next time I will be able to put up a couple of my times in New Jersey and New York. Hope you guys are still reading and I hope that you are all doing well. Catch Ya on The Flip Side ;-)
