So-- it is what it is. No. It will be what i want it to be.
My thesis film is still ongoing-- as usual. It has evolved into another story, a simpler one, with a fairy tale to tell in the style of a musical. Yep, it is still on. But I’ve decided to do the wisest thing: take the time I need to develop a good story and not rush into the backward.
so, you heard it here-- “to sing or to sign” or “happiness that died with the bomb” is no longer. but i’d rather not jinx you with the name of my thesis film-- until I’m absolutely sure that this script is good enough.
moving onward to a new era.
will be graduating in the USC ceremonies on May 16th, 2008. congrats to me! yay.
a good looking director, perhaps?

freelance life…

It has been an interesting lifestyle thus far. Have moved to North Hollywood, and intend on living the freelance life: be one’s own boss. Quite a challenge in itself, indeed. But at the same time, very rewarding and fullfilling. Nothing like disciplining yourself with yourself; maximizing the human potential.
And I’ve been editing, writing, producing, and doing all the producing positions (assistant director, script breakdowns, you name it...) and that’s what’s paying my bills. Yep, I still remain in the film industry and am breathing.
Still have one more semester left at the infamous University of Southern California-- at the School of Cinematic Arts.
As for “To Sing or To Sign?” It has been postponed to be shot in October-- and it’s all for the best, really-- since we’re gonna improve our approach, and raise more money, that we need, as well as improve our look and design so it’ll be the topmost quality. I am thrilled that we have a great cast & crew, and everyone has been wonderfully supportive in this film. It’s gonna be the short film of the year!
Keep in touch.

erik and i are going full-scale blast on the work behind the 48 hour film project. we’re hailing locations, creating a logo for our team coffee iv drips, gathering equipment and props, and crewing up. so far everyone’s been extremely enthusiastic and excited about joining us!
will post another blog soon with the official crew roster.
It’s an intense challenge: to create a movie from start to finish (story development, scriptwriting, rehearsal, lining up for location, shooting, editing, composing music, and sound editing) WITHIN 48 HOURS.
Beat that, you people out there!
