?? Not sure if I'll go to another one. The rest of the day will be a relaxing time at Santa Monica Pier!!

So there it is! As you can see I have a very nice mix of writing, producing, and directing. My goal from this trip is to lear more about character development and more about the inside of making a movie. (From a producer and director stand point.)

I hope to post a few more tid bits before I leave on Tuesday! Now, I just got to get to packing! haha (10-20-07)

Coverage is Here for "13"!

I got the coverage report back this weekend from the pro reader. Overall, "13" is still in need of a major over haul! Now, I'm not upset about any of this. I knew going in that the script still needed a lot of work, I just didn't know where to to start. After you read something so many time, it gets a little foggy. The coverage has giving me insight that I didn't have before. The two biggest things that must be worked on is Plot and Characterization. I will be starting a major back stories for four to five charcters this week.
So to sum up, I have a lot of work to do before this can become a movie. This must be GREAT before it can become a movie!

13 days until L.A. Trip!!!!

Update on "13"

Last weekend I sent the 2nd draft for coverage. This will give me a good reading by a pro. So, I'm setting back and waiting for the feedback. Things look good (I think anyway) for moving this project forward. I hope to start the script breakdown here very soon!
