Screenplay is Done! Casting Coming Soon

Updates

-The screenplay is finished! : Okay well not really, I am now in the process of editing and revising, which is easy. But I managed to finish the script in less than a week. So the hardest part of making a movie is over. Now for the easy stuff. Oh and by the way, it came out to 96 pages (97 if you count the cover).

- An investors meeting was supposed to take place yesterday in my school library, so I edited a short film over the weekend to show that I can make a film. The problem is, nobody showed up. Trying to raise the extra $500 after spending my $900 on the Canon HV30 is a pain in the neck. I wasn't happy about it seeing is that I edited the crap out of the video the night before until midnight. Quick Tip: Get help from an adult when you plan to have other adults come to invest in your film.

- Actors Marlee Greer, Ross Lippman, and Emily Fisher finally got a copy of the first draft as well. Marlee plays the lead lady, Ross plays the villain, and Emily plays as the villaness. So far Marlee is happy with her character, *phew* what a relief, I was beginning to think she wouldn't like the whole "stripper girl" thing. Oops, did I say that...

- Casting next week. I'm ready for whatever happens next. I just hope I can fill in on all the extra parts.

Anyway, the delay for the next video diary is because of the writing and the meetings I was trying to put together so quickly. Hopefully I will get the next one on before casting, which was a fun little trip I took location scouting with co-star Robert Perry.

More to come on Sunday!!
