Week 2 in the books! 📚✏️

This week the group focused on creating a synopsis from the log lines that we came up with in week one. We were also assigned 1 movie to watch from each other member of the group.
My list was:
1. Existenz
2. Hotaru no mori e
3. Ghost
4. Nina Forever
So I was able to add a bunch to my "watched" list on Letterboxd, check out my ratings for them here: https://boxd.it/QBa3

The 1st draft of the script is already due next week! 🫠
More soon. On to week 3!

Just started the newest itteration of the 10 week program! During the length of this initiative, members will write, produce and shoot a full length short film within the span of - you guessed it - 10 weeks.

Follow along with us @10weekproductions as we post our progress each week. This was week #1 where each member shared a piece of their previous work with the group along with 3 potential log lines to develop further. Expect a post every week on our progress until the projects come to fruition! Week one down, 9 to go! 🙌🎉

What an honor! 🙇🏻‍♂️🙏

Thanks to my buddy @eddievigilv
for having me as a guest on his podcast, "The Eddie Conversation". We had a lot of fun chatting about how to navigate the indie film world as directors. I watch podcast like this all the time for inspiration and guidance so it feels really surreal to be on the giving end for a change. Hopefully this can help others who are starting from square one like I once was. 🫡

Film will take you to some interesting places.

I dont just mean locations either. Having story on your brain 24/7 allows you to come up with some crazy ideas. Listening to podcast, overhearing a nearby conversation while at the museum, viewing art while at said museum. When any of these types of things catch your interest, think of why? Why do I like this drawing? How does that sound bite that I just heard match up to my own, personal experience? What kind of character would use that piece of dialogue I just overheard? Asking yourself these questions generate amazing concepts which set the ground work for great scripts.

Hans K. Misra 🧐

I'm dedicating this post to my good buddy @misrahans a talented, Writer/Director colleague of mine. Even though he's a good few years younger than me, I've learned a lot from him over the past few years of our friendship. Whether it's for help/ notes on a script, a philosophical question or discussions about directing/ filmmaking, Hans has always been someone I count on. I appreciate you buddy! 🤝
