Okay March update:

This week has been absolute hell. A lot of stress, mid-terms, homework assignments and racism. We were supposed to start filming last night on campus but there was just no time to do it. Both Kim and I needed to work on our project for Roddy (30-page bundle of fun) and I feel that it was just too soon to start filming with the actors.

I changed the schedule and we will start shooting next week Tuesday & Wednesday. And this weekend I will meet with the cast to go over the script and discuss the characters.

I am starting to become a little weary of this semester: I am disappointed with the professors in the Media Arts program and yet I am really surprised by the BFA the more you work with them the more you see who they really are.
After working on that shoot for my two friends Randall and Hank...I was completely stupified. You don't really know a person until you work beside them. It was a crazy experience.
I'm hoping for our actors sake that Kim and I will handle the stress.

On a secondary note, our first day of shooting goes down on Tues, March 6th the same day that the sneak peek for 300 screens on campus. For free!




That is so wrong. I've been waiting for this movie...for months upon months. *Sigh*

I had a personal doc that garnerd some interesting reviews one of which that I should incorporate some "cowboys & indians" story into my film. The suggestion was then encouraged by my professor...she enthusiastically loved the idea.

I couldn't believe it. It was as if she had just stabbed me in the stomach with a knife...I couldn't even respond to it all. I just couldn't fucking believe it.


In one moment I was reduced to such...I felt lower than dirt.

Anyhow no I'm not shooting over spring break. I need a break sometime otherwise I'm gonna drop all of my classes and do film on my own dime.
