This week will be huge turning point in my life
I ask anyone reading this to please put in some good thoughts for me. I've entered this big competition a month ago as an "easy way" effort to get my first feature off the ground. This Friday I hear back from it to see if I'm accepted along with 200 other filmmakers. From there, they read a treatment for my film and watch some of my previous work. If they like that, they move me along with 25 other filmmakers. That's when they see the script. If they like that, it's down to 5 filmmakers. We're flown out to LA to shoot a short film, and whoever makes the best one wins a $500,000 grant, production mentorship, a distribution deal and theatrical release. So yee-ha.
Maybe it's not an easy way. I checked them out pretty well before even releasing my work so I trust they're good people.
I was driving home, staring into space when all of a sudden I had this really good feeling flow through my veins. It was very strange. A part of me wants to say that it means everything will be alright, but I don't want to get cocky. So I ignored it and am instead doing all I have left to do - keep waiting and keep working.
And this weekend, I shoot the last scenes for "East Of The Highway." Looking back on what I have it's turned much more profound of a film than I thought it would be. It's not just political, there's something else to it and for the first time in my early stages of a filmmaking career, I can't wait to show the world what I have.
