#filmmaker problems

I know my agent is trying to help me but the way she keeps bugging me to make sure I got paid or that my cv is updated.., I mean.., pfft, it’s like she cares or something.

*sarcasm* lil bit.

that filmmaker feel when you have a great new idea for a script but school starts in 5 days and you know you have to write a completely separate script for your production class

I'm back at it with wanting to shift my focus to a drama short with little to no dialogue that I hatched up last year. So, now I'm wondering when I'm gonna spiral and drop it to do something else.

It's a shame it's not horror or would qualify for a film festival I'm hoping to submit something to this year - but that's assuming I can feel in a team with (1) an outstanding pitch and (2) make sure we can execute it financially. In an absolutely perfect world, we'd do my post-apocalyptic, body horror script.

We could realistically do it within the runtime constraints, but pulling it off professionally so it doesn't look like a high school production value is where I really worry about it falling flat. It sucks being a dramatic artist, since my ideas are usually out of reach and I'm way too shy to approach local filmmakers, cinematographers, actors, and all the great people who make the magic happen about coming together on this. I'm sure I'd be fine had I stuck with my factory job, since that would have had me well off financially to finance the movie myself with little to no need to backup help.

Ugh, it's such a pain in the ass. The deadline for the festival I want to go all in on is in eight months. The script is just about locked and loaded, and now it's just getting all the pieces together that's the challenge that feels debilitating and almost defeating. Yeah, I get it - stop comparing yourself to others. It's just a pain in the ass to have friends and acquaintances who have already made a short film or even a feature, and I've been fighting to get my break on anything.

Welcome to the career, I guess. It's all part of the territory, right?

Smol thing about my life

Chuck, in his infinite wisdom, has graced me with a good many talents. Editing (film) however, is NOT one of them. Today I have quite possibly found the solution to this issue!! Smol things aside, this super human known as Doctore Jack may soon be my production editor. So, anyone who is bored enough with their life to read this, say a little woot woot for me.

My Logitech speakers are dying, so now I have to think about upgrading again. This last one lasted a couple of years, but they weren't very expensive. I had looked at their THX certified 2.1 system (cuz I like having a subwoofer), but it's like... Do I need to treat myself that much?

What Advice Do You Have For Screenwriters?

All the advice here is great, and true, but the things to look for are how Sarah Silverman can still remind me why she’s my favorite comedian, even in a little video like this. AND the amazing words that the amazing Brie Larson says :)
