Hello from Quarantine!
What a strange time this is. Everyone is stuck at home (hopefully) and yet, the world seems to be going more mad than ever before. Collectively stir crazy. Strange times indeed.
For those of you who know me (and the many of you who don't), I am someone who prides myself on continuing to grind in times like these. Not in a way that demeans others, I know everyone deals with stressors like these in different ways. But for me, I find that the best way to cope is just to keep working.
I have spent most of the past six months outlining, reoutlining, fixing the outline template I made, then doing more outlining for a sports film idea I've had kicking around. It's only been over the past few weeks I've actually been hammering away at the script and I must say, there really is something to this outlining thing. It's never worked for me until now, and as it stands, I will likely have this draft of the script finished by the end of the month. It feels good to be able to say that. I love this script, I love this story, but I am very much ready to put it down and do something else for a while.
What that something is remains to be seen. As it stands, I have another Spy feature that I've been percolating over for a long time that I'd like to knock out a draft on by the end of the year. I've also got a tiny indie film that I think about at least three times a day. I wrote a vomit draft of it several months back and I'd like to do another draft sooner. This is all in addition to the short films ideas I've also been meaning to write. I've got more than a few of those I need to get started on. I'm hoping to shoot something later this year, provided this whole ordeal is blown over by then.
Strange times indeed. Hope everyone is staying safe.
