So… I’m making a horror flick, and I picked that against a couple other ideas (I’ll talk about those at a later date). I did that choosing about a year ago; in early 2015. The concept for the horror hit me and I wrote a few pages, didn’t like some of it, and then took Read More…
Progress Report 1
This is the first progress report. Just gonna give a quick notion of where I stand at the moment. Completed what I’d consider a 3rd draft of the script and sent it out to readers and to my producing partner. I’ve got my sites for the sets I need to build figured out, save one Read More…
