For my script writing I set out to write a thoughtful sci fi/fantasy epic geared towards children but my instructor repeatedly trashed on it's effervescence and juvenile tone which really pissed me off so... I started from scratch last week and wrote a completely new script--in it's entirety. "Southern Halo" tells the story of an idealistic but ambitious street punk who is pushed beyond his limitations but rises to the occasion by destroying his adversaries and the drugs that control them in order to secure his own future. Having well exceeded my instructor's expectation that students complete a significant portion of a feature length screenplay completed by semester's end I plan on using this final month to tirelessly work and re-work my professional standards in time for my arrival in Hollywood. In a perfect world I would star in and direct it... but I would obviously be thrilled just to sell it like the sell out I am. Maybe it's unfair but I'm beginning to understand why they say the pen is mightier than the sword.
I don't understand how a 3.0 student from a state school landed an internship with one of the most successful film makers of all time.
somehow I deserve it though.
