Okay! I just has a brilliant idea! Or then maybe its the caffiene and the lack of sleep talking. After all, it's after 9 at night when I write this while gulping down cup of coffee number 3. I'm at that warm and fuzzy place where every idea seems like the one that shall change the world
Wait first! Kai! LOL! I need to go and sleep - abeg, follow me re-read that first sentence. Did I actually say that I 'just has' a brilliant idea? See how I am embarrasing myself on the WORLD wide web?
Anyway, back to the idea - which I realize that I fully can't tell you about - oh, and yeah, here I must pause to tell you that if movies and listening to someone babble about screenwriting and story theory is not your cup of tea (forget tea, coffee - mmmm, cooooffffffeeeeeeeeee.......) then please skip this post
There's this script I've been pulling out of the back of my mind, dusting off, polishing and then pushing back there for a few months now. It's called 'Walking Into Walls' and I JUST realized what the heart of the story is!
I had been battling with it - it has a GREAT opening, an AMAZING end, but it just lacked a little, okay, a LOT of something. It had no heart. The story/script I had forced you brain to nod in agreement but left you largely unmoved - until now
I am excitedly scribbling away on Final Draft as I bounce back and forth between computers - light at the end of the tunnel. I just might have another great movie to try and get made for 2008! Who know? As long as I leave it in God's hands, He gives me the ideas, He'll show me what to do with them...
But the main reason that the script keeps getting pushed into the back of my head is that it's a romantic dramedy - leaning more towards being a romantic comedy. And the thing is following 'Letters to a Stranger' I really didn't want to do another romantic drama or comedy and get pigeon holed - but now, I really don't care - for now
Should I really care either way? Is there the danger of being pigeonholed? Or am I just being paranoid and trying not to admit that it's really because I dont want to be labelled a wuss and have people question my sexual orientation, when I keep making all these sappy love something something films?
Drop me a line and let me know - thanks!

The rantings of a quarterlife writer with illusions of cinematic grandeur! Grammer! One Bini boy like that documents his search for the meaning of all things while trying to get his second movie made. LOL! MORE grammer!

Vic Manchez, peeped the IM and had to look see, (Irish Accent)very niiice. Dude, when u told me Apprentice Africa, it didnt exactly catch in my mind(musta been hungrier than I thought). Havent seen it tho, what's it showin on? If u still shootin, does that mean its a live show? Anywho, tha O2's tuned in, and about the scripts, I got an idea for a Tarantino type-abstract conversation filled-random information spilling-...-u get the idea right, thing. Still tryin to flesh it, whateva.
