A Week of Progress
Been a nice week of progress for me. Pretty much a week of Log Line and Synopsis writing. Finished the Brainstorm, Main Characters, Logline, and Synopsis for Amachi’s first book and a short film script. I discovered a lot about my two main antagonists, for Amachi, that I didn’t know/realize before. They’ve become a lot … Read more
My First Read Through and Other Things!
I’ve written and plan to direct a short film titled “A Moment In Love” and, last weekend, I had a read through with the lead actor and actress, mainly to scrutinize the dialog. Everything went well and was a great first time experience for me. It was fun, a lot of laughing. It was definitely … Read more

You can change the fonts, colors, and word formations to make some pretty cool imagery. As … Read more

SHOTGUN Project Journal: 60 Scenes Deep
Last week went rather smooth. I developed the Main Characters, Subplot Characters, and Supporting Characters who’ve all grown to be…a passionate bunch of people to say the least. They know what they want and have no problems going after it/each other. I was able to knock out the sequences/chapters in a bout a day and a … Read more
