New post.....update on the past month.

It's been a while since I posted anything here. Going to try to more often so I can let my rage out more here!! LOL 

Last post I had a sketch for a idea from someone concerning my screenplay WITH CHILD.....here is the completed project. It went on to be on my business card for Shriekfest 2012.




As for the festival it's self. I went. Had a good time. Met some cool people. Saw some really good indie horror movies. In the long run, my screenplay ended up winning an award...not a big one, but the BITCH PACK AWARD....in other words it passed the Bechdel Test. What's that?

1. It has to have at least two [named] women in it
2. Who talk to each other
3. About something besides a man
So apparently it met that standard. Hmm. Is this an award...not sure. I think it is. LOL.  Here's some pics of me with the festival director, getting my award, and the after award show pics.....






So that's about it. The trip was not a total waste. Still have not been able to sell anything, much less generate ANY interest in the screenplay......frustrating.

New screenplay is a re-working of an older one. Almost done with a first draft. Stuck with coming up for an ending..again. It's like a bastard child of RINGU, NAKED LUNCH, GRAVE ENCOUNTERS, EVIL DEAD (the original), THE PLAYER, POLTERGEIST, and of course some tentacles for a dash of HPL......some inspiration, huh?

OK...done talking to myself....bye. 
Bye.

Another WITH CHILD flyer....new ideas....

Another possible flyer for my screenplay WITH CHILD to take with me out to the festival? I think it may be. A supervisor of mine at work read my script, loved it so much, she gave it to her son. He in turn drew this based upon the look and feel of the script.

Anyway, I had a falling through with another idea today. The writing process was going very sluggish. Three pages across two days....that's bad for me. Then after reading through my outline I realized I had a MAJOR plot hole in the entire thing.....and I can not come up with an explanation for it. Putting yet another aside...I think that makes three in the last month that have not worked out.

I still have a few more ideas kicking around. I'm at the point where I need something for next year's festivals. So going for a cheap shot. When all is lost, go for the cheap scares and blood n' guts. Basically what my new idea is. Tackling the hot topic of piracy and anti-piracy on the 'net.

I'm sure in a day or two, this as well will go in a box of junk ideas and I'll move on to the next one. I'll probably be posting about that in a few days.
