What your looking at above, is none other than the script breakdown of this film. Cut and pasted onto my walls with Blue Tack. A truly miraculous substance that never seems to dry out! ....alot has happened since the last post, so let me bring you up to speed.
1. I finished the script breakdown.
2. I still haven't made a working budget
3. I found an AD -or assistant director.
4. I'm going on a Location Reccee Saturday.(this was originally scheduled for Friday, but my still photographer rescheduled.
5. The producer called me back. -what did he say? All will be explained, look below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
So last week, the well established (one heck of a nice guy) 'Producer Adam' gives me a ring. After throwing him a completely unsolicited script during our Producing and Directing class (he was a guest speaker), he was very much obliged to read it through. Not only that, but he was nice enough to give me a call back in less than two weeks! (I'm sure he knows how greatful I am. The fact that he would take the time out of his busy schedual for budding film-makers like myself...) Especially when they act like I did below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The conversation went something as follows:
Producer Adam
Jason?
Jason
Yes?
Producer Adam
This is Adam, I came to your class
to speak about producing the other day?
Jason
Oh, OH! Hey! Thanks for giving me a call!
Producer Adam
Hey, no problem. I just wanted to say I liked your script.
Jason
THANKS for giving me a call! ...AND liking my script!
Producer Adam
It's okay.
Awkward pause
Jason
Thankyou sooo much for giving me a call!
------------------------------------------------------------
After the call, I ran thru my university screaming like an idiot... not a smart thing to do when your supposed to be in class... One thing I learned from all this; however, is that the excitement of meeting new exciting individuals in this industry and gaining their recognition is almost never ending. So always take every chance you can to take that next step, because it could just be the biggest and most extrodinary step you've ever made.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
During my stay after university classes, I usually hang around the MES; where I bother fellow students working as slaves behind the desk of our equipment logging department. There I made Tabitha my Directors Assistant. This was because I believe she can do the job, answer my questions, and handle her part of the work and technical issues(which may very well confuse me). In other words, I believe she can get the job done and I trust her to get it done. I'm pretty sure having Tabitha as my AD should make things a heck of a lot simpler from here on out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On Saturday, I am going on a Location Reccee with my Still Photographer to some locations I would like to check out. Too see pictures of possible locations, please check back after saturday.
Also, casting may commence tomorrow when I send notices out through Talent Circle and UK CAST NET. Stay tuned for more info.
PS: The final draft is the 12th Draft.. No more rewrites. Promise.
