Disappearing Act

May 12, 2015 22:44

Oh, wow . Jeez. It's almost like I disappeared from here.

I'll have to make a note to be better about updating this...and my fics, I am so sorry for everyone waiting for updates. I have not forgotten.


So, needless to say I've been busy with school. I've been going year round since last June all so I can graduate in a week.

And that is terrifying me. On Friday, May 22, I'll be in San Francisco for my graduation ceremony to get my B.F.A. in Motion Pictures and Television. And that terrifies me.

I'm trying to save up to move to Austin, TX around August-September to get a move on with my career; regardless if I have to work a regular full tim job as I make my films on my own. But of course, that's being tampered with sicne I work this bullshit job that's been cutting my hours for the last 2 months until now I'm only working three days a week with 13 hours on average (on a good week, I'll get 16 hours) while only being paid 8 bucks an hour. I barely have enough to make car payments. It's a mess but I'm looking to get a second job this summer.

Yay being a grown up -eye roll-

But other than that stressful milestone, I've been kicking ass in my classes. And have even got some new killer films to add to my reel. Granted, they're experiemntal films but I found that I actually really enjoy making those type of films. I even made a horror found footage experimental film that my teacher said could probably be seen at Alamo Drafthouses during the pre-movie films bit. So that was awesome.

I'm also working on this kickass short film (with a run time of 30-45 minutes) that I'm really proud of. Once I finish writing it and start putting together a crew/cast, I'll be launching a Kickstarter campaign for it. But that won't happen until next year.

I've also been hitting the gym 5 days a week since February. I've gotten stronger, built more muscle, lost some weight (20lbs so far), improved my endurance, actually started to enjoying running, and just started getting my ass in gear. So that's been nice to have to blow off some steam and get me out of the house for 2 hours.

So that's been my life so far.

But once this week is done, I'm going to sit down and finish writing Legacy and then get back to writing fic and making fanvids.

And for those who are curious about the new films I've made, you can check them out here.
