Well I want to start off by saying thank you to all of you who take the time to watch my work. I’m blessed to have such a great group of fans and supporters. I have started a tumblr, I’m not really sure why. There are things I would love to say but who reads Facebook notes right?
It has been a long time since I have done a narrative, about 11 months. I’ve done a ton of other stuff Short Films, Commercials & Music Videos. Nothing like a true story, lots of experimental stuff, silent shorts & short scripts. “Promises We Make” was the last true short film and now i’m going back. I don’t know why I’ve waited so long in between pieces. Silent artsy shorts are great but I really haven’t done too many true narrative pieces. I don’t really count “The Omegas” because it’s a web series.
It feels good going back, I guess you could say I take so long because I need to hear the right piece of music. Music always directs the way I write. Then casting. Casting is always hard. I am a small time director why would anyone want to work on my project unless the script was good. Maybe I think to low of myself and that is a question I’m always considering before I cast. Why Would an actor give me 4 days out of their life for no pay? If the script is good I suppose.
I’m excited and nervous all at the same time. I always want to push the envelope, I’m glad to be going back…
